How do you stay anonymous if you win the lottery? This video reveals where you can claim lottery prizes privately and how to do it. It is narrated by Powerball winner and podcaster Timothy Schultz.
It’s important to check the rules for the lottery that you’re playing. The rules vary by country and state. Understand the rules before you redeem the ticket.
Should you claim a lottery jackpot publicly or anonymously if you have the choice? There can be pros and cons to both. Claiming it publicly can be positive if you enjoy being in the public spotlight or having 15 minutes of fame. It can also be positive if you want to share your story with the world. After all, winning the lottery is one of the most rare and potentially life-altering things that can happen to a person.
Having said that, many people prefer to claim lottery prizes anonymously. One reason is to help avoid people coming out of the woodwork asking for money.
While some places allow people to claim the lottery privately, that is not always the case. Advocates for making it public often argue that there needs to be transparency to show that real people are winning. They want to maintain the integrity of the game.
There are many countries where you can claim lottery winnings anonymously, such as in the United Kingdom, France, several countries in Europe, South America, Brazil, Australia and New Zealand. If you win the lottery in China, you can claim it anonymously, but you have to attend a photo shoot. For this reason, some winners redeem their prizes while wearing a costume.
In the USA, the two largest lottery games are the Powerball and the Mega Millions. The rules for whether you can claim prizes privately vary by the state.
These states allow you to remain anonymous if you win over $250K from the lottery:
Arizona, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire if it’s claimed by a blind trust, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, and Wyoming.
You can also remain anonymous in the states of Texas and West Virginia if you win $1 million dollars or more or in Virginia if you win $10 million dollars or more.
You cannot remain anonymous in California, Colorado, Florida, Kentucky, Michigan, New York, New Mexico, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont and Wisconsin. It's important to note that in Colorado, they will release your first name and last initial rather than your full name. And in the state of Michigan, you can claim prizes on behalf of a club. This was done in a $1.05 billion Mega Millions win in 2021, which was claimed by the Wolverine FLL Club.
The rules for whether you can claim lottery jackpots privately or publicly really vary and are constantly changing. It’s important to check the rules of the game from the location for where you play.
If you play the lottery, never spend more than you can afford, have fun and remember that you do have a chance if you play!
