Are you required by law to post your name to the public or talk to the media? I would remain anonymous. I would not tell a soul.



Your name is made public. Media will chase you down.

"Jackpot winners are given the option of participating in a press conference. Many of our past jackpot winners have enjoyed this opportunity, and it usually eliminates receiving multiple calls from the media. The Arizona Lottery is required to release the winner’s name, city of residence, game, and amount won upon request, so total anonymity is not possible."

It varies by state, there are states where you can claim the jackpot anonymously. The one story I read talked about a guy that formed an LLC and had his lawyer pick up the winnings. His name was never published so he was able to protect his privacy. All comes down to your state laws though.

It would be a good idea to have attorneys hired, trusts set up, and security in place BEFORE claiming your prize.

I would hold a media press conference, and in my best Dave Chappelle voice scream "EYM RICH BIYTCH!" flip the camera's off and walk off.

Watch me turn the stones. That evil comes out.
And why would I set it free? It always comes back to me.
That evil is the only thing that always comes back to me.
