A US person sued for anonymity before coming forward to collect a lottery ticket once - based on past winners being killed. They won.
Kaaaayla
$1.14M USD
TheHumanCentipad
1,03M USD by now. Either one of us is wrong or the currency fluctuates like crazy.

In UK you have the right to anonymity when you lottos. Make sure to opt out of publicity

Ghostface Killah won the lottery?
Sumtinstink
Apparently so.
Greenbeans1128
No mistakes allowed...he's quite clever.
loudkittysnores
He had to protect his neck

$154 million Jamaican? That's, like, enough for a t-shirt and a pack of smokes.

What are those strange looking smartphones?

I know thats a joke but it hurts hearing it anyways.

I like the one with the curly charging cable! Do you know the brand?

.....Bell?
yeaaadude
Tryin to ghost their family lol. What happened to Mark? I haven't seen or heard anything from him in weeks
TosokTheRodentHunter
I bet he's got baby mommas

That’s almost enough money to buy a new Honda Accord after paying the import duties.

Not sure how every one that's "gone their own way" has managed to stay in earshot.
Derptator
As sad as it is, money changes people. It would go the same way for a girl with money attracting men.
khele
Not really. You get to know who _really_ is your friend (or more) when youre in trouble not when you win a million bucks.
TheHumanCentipad
It´s about 1 Mil. $

How hard could it be to find the guy in a scream mask?
MrDragonfyr
Hire a few groups of people, say 23,000, then tell them all to wear that mask and wait outside. Problem... resolved.

America lotto forces us to show identity
Weelpzbit
Smart, funny, and RICH!
GodEmperorOfImgur
I.... completely and utterly understand why he/she would do that, I would probably do the same.
Dyslexicbirch
This is why you remain anonymous in Australia if you win
chrishallett83
I'd just tell everyone I was a drug dealer. "Yeah I quit my job and I sell coke now, hence the Lamborghini."
TheMeanGombeen
Because in Australia in 1960, a child of the winners was kidnapped for ransom, and later killed. It's been optional since.
Dyslexicbirch
Yep so sad
brassmule
There are at least a few states in the US that allow winners to collect anonymously. I'm not sure why it's not universal, however.
parismaker
The kidnappers&killers were later caught and deported to Australia for their disgusting crimes
Slamtastik
I think I herd of an Aussie couple that one the lotto and kept it a secret for a year, they were so happy. Until they told people.
redheadsaremykryptonite
While many people may not have this cross their mind, but yes this is highly possible, and getting constantly harassed is another 1/2
Slamtastik
Never herd of a lotto winner that told people he won and didn't get harassed. People with money they didn't earn are easy targets.
redheadsaremykryptonite
Yes exactly.
redheadsaremykryptonite
thing that happens. Luckily I live in a state where you can stay anonymous when you do your winnings.
JackBandit5
I think you should win before claiming luck.
stupidfuntime
They must have already won! Lets see if we can figure out their identity from posts/comments!
Askingforafriend37
Last year they were excited about making $13/hr. Which means they won in the past year.
redheadsaremykryptonite
No, I was curious about what was better tax wise, doing a monthly check or all at once.
solitaryDoesThingsToaMan
Don't they release the name of who won?
bobon123
Worldwide, it's not very common to release the name of lottery winners. In most countries the winner can choose.
lronMaiden
What sort of mad country would allow winners name to be made public?
Daywalker27
Canada!
NotAPervert
States in the US require it, that I know of because without transparency the people in the system rig it so they win, or family, not public.
TheBurritoConfederacy
It's mandatory in several US states, as insane as that is.
NotAPervert
Because in the past, the people part of the lotto system rigged it so they or family won illegally.

Yea cause people will roll up and murder them, kidnap family/friends, etc
asianmilkspray
My worst nightmare when I ever win the lottery.

fistermatic5000
*roll up and smoke them
whiskeywonka
I went for subtle
fistermatic5000
Subtlety is wasted on this crowd. They'll just find a way to argue with you.
Snickt
100% truth. This man would have a huge target on his back, he will anyway. He can probably buy his way to the US now though.
charndatiger
"can't wait to get shot by the police!"
TheClockWatcher
That'd be the first thing I'd do. Move the family to a first world country.
NoRoomForVegetarians
He can buy himself into Switzerland and go anywhere in the world
chevizosia
That's only 1 138 619 USD. That's like a cup of coffee in Switzerland
Solkanarmy
or to somewhere good
AmericansAreHilarious
to be shot by police then?
Sandwichael
Has trump convinced you that anyone would do anything to get into the US?
AlphaVirus2g
The US?! I'm sure he would rather a 1st world destination instead of a shit hole. (Partially joking)
AmericansAreHilarious
I like the way you think.
mirria
USA is a paradise, as long as you can afford it.
AmericansAreHilarious
BAUAHAHWHAHAHWHWAHAAHWSHWAWHAHAHAHAHAHA nobody outside the US thinks that.
mirria
I'm Canadian.
MaskMan191
US is first world because first world is US side of cold war, second world is USSR side, third world is no side.
MaskMan191
Afghanistan is, contrary to popular belief, a second world country.
Counterfit
Only once the communists took over. Which didn't last all that long.
Crumperino
Second world isn't a term anyone uses anymore, that's not what it or first world mean anymore.
MaskMan191
Technically, first and third world aren't used anymore since the Cold War is over.
edward8767
1st world is having a decent and free at point of use medical system. US simple doesn't qualify until it gets its shit together
MaskMan191
Wrong.
killbot9566
I would do the same or just choose to not appear on any tv people will do crazy shit for money
pareidoliaperson
Damm, almost thought you'd do the same as kidnap and murder.
EvilKam
The way to stay safe is to contact a lawyer and start what's called a Blind Trust. Your lawyer collects on behalf of that trust. You, as
EvilKam
the beneficiary of the trust will take possession of the financial assets held within the trust when your lawyer files to dissolve it.
Spadesghost
No, you actually want to set up an LLC.
EvilKam
This sounds like another very good option. I'll admit, this is why we pay lawyers money, they'd probably be able to find the best solution.
yeaprobably
Some places you have to or you don't get the money
LurkerOfDarkness
What kind of crazy ass places is that?
notthelocknessmonster
Remaining anonymous when you win the lottery can only be done in six U.S. states.
LurkerOfDarkness
Sickening.
AccountCreatedToUpvoteDogs
In the USA some states require you to show up for the publicity photo, name and all.
IllegalDuckling
What is wrong with the US? Less safe than a third world country but they still make you do this.
TheyreGoodDogsBront
Less safe than a third world country?
Sumdumguy42
Which states?
bcs944
45 of them. Ohio, North Dakota, Maryland, Kansas and Delaware DO NOT require you to disclose your identity.
Sumdumguy42
Wow that’s fucked up.
Waidonut
Canada as well. Ill get the worst makeover ever if I need a lotto photo.
rafaelfy
Only 6 states allow you to remain anonymous
chevizosia
Why...? Sounds extremely stupid and privacy infringement

Popspoppingit
"You must show your face or we give you less of your winnings" theft then? At the very minimum it's bullshit.
TaviRus
It's actually in the fine print that you agree to by playing the lottery. You can get it as an LLC or trust, but you get less or pay moretax
zenoshogun
Mainly to prove a real person actually won it and the winnings weren't just handed off to a friend/family/trust of the lottery managers.
KanyeWesticularCancer
At that point your previous life is over. Use that money to make yourself a new identity and go somewhere remote.
LaChupaCabra7
I would have a plane ticket and hotel set up far away from where I won, and would leave right after getting it
SFMGifs
Better you don’t have a family/friends/job
