There’s a handful of states that allow you to remain anonymous, about 6 I think.

But one doesn’t have to go on the nightly news the day after.

Sorry, six states allow the winner to remain secret. I am closest to Kalifornia so ...

You can setup a registered trust and then the trust representative presents the ticket. The trust is faceless and nameless to prying eyes...

True, in most states. Unfortunately, too many winners decide to revel in their moment of fame and fortune and hold a press conference—which the lottery actively encourages.

Nothing like getting your face out in public, and creating even more security issues for you and your family. Anyone who wins $800 million doesn’t realize how many relatives, con-men, shysters and thugs will show up on their doorstep, or accost them in public.

Not in all states.

Some allow anonymity.

“Winner is public record.”

I do not think so. As I recall, the state/town/city of the winner is public but if the winner wants no name used, it is not given or the winner can appoint a financial power of attorney to get the money for the winner, like an attorney.
