These "come rob this dude" publicity events are fucked.

I wonder how much thought went into WHICH mask to grab at Party City?

don't you have the option to remain anonymous? pretty sure do in Oregon at least

It varies from state to state

Isn't it fun that this is our world.

Smart man.

Not just relatives... And make sure to never tell or let anyone know.
Orcus424
If you want to enjoy the money they will notice so you need to say something like an inheritance or a small lottery win.
Mewmus
and if they tell you you have to take the mask off, make sure you have clown makeup on underneath
76000BatteryLlamas
Or another scream mask
TungstenOrbital
Mask-ception, and then clown make-up under the second mask
komododave
Or a picture of Hugh Jackman.

Oregonian here, do they tape you or anything? Cuz I know our state forces you to come forward and your name be known
Spartan04
It may be similar to here in Mi where they’ll release your name but you can choose to not do the press conference or any of that.
EroticZombiePants
You don't have to even publicly claim it if you don't want to. Plenty of people have claimed anonymously.
notthatkaren
Get a lawyer to collect it. You are going to need a tax attorney anyway.
EricPisch
In the civilised part of the world lottery winnings are tax free, unlike in the land of the free

Some states require winners to public disclose their identity. Which is why some people never come forward.

There are ways to at least obfuscate things a bit. Form a trust and have a lawyer claim it on the trust’s behalf.

I knew a guy who won the Lotto. Not big millions but still good. 6 weeks later he was served papers, his own mother was suing him.

100% this...and an air-tight trust, or you'll be forever distrustful of your relatives, friends, and people with "investment opportunities"
wellladeedaa
It's almost like a curse to "win" money from the collection plate a nation that fails to protect it's people while funding the MurdRMker5000
BitchButcher
"Investment opportunities? Man I already won the lottery. Thank you." - good answer
KotimainenKayttajanimi
I'd just invest in cocaine and whores. I don't need any advice for that.
thatbloodybastard
It's probably wise to never trust anyone with "investment opportunities" lottery win or not.
PrinceOfWhales
Boy, do I have a golden opportunity for you. NFT's based on winning lottery tickets.
azazyel
I think there are about 6 people in the US with my last name, I'd be paranoid as F if I won.
Dragon4518
My names matthew perry. Good luck finding me :)
TheHengeProphet
I feel that. There are about 7 people in the US with my last name, and I don't think I would trust any of them to know if I won the lotto.
lochnezmunster
For sure, there are like 8 people in the US with my last name and I definitely wouldn’t trust them finding out if I woke the lottery
TheThoughtIThoughtWasntTheThoughtIThoughtIThought
I was never given a name
ballsoutflyer
You're right to be. Those six people tell six more, and those tell six more. Before you know it, you have 1500 "family members".
InsertUnimaginativeUsernameHere
Or worse, you actually HAVE 1500 "family members" already...
CloseupCaptionReaction
What's a trust in terms of money? Like an investment or savings account?
DuckPlanetKing
Another way for the really rich to avoid paying their taxes even after they die.
PrinceOfWhales
Money gets paid out to you in an amount you set. https://www.fidelity.com/life-events/estate-planning/trusts
Einbrecher
TL;DR, you put assets into an account with instructions telling a trustee (person who manages it) how the assets should be managed and paid/
Einbrecher
out to beneficiaries. The assets in the trust are no longer yours, and therefore you personally don't pay taxes on it (the trust still does/
Einbrecher
though) and creditors (usually) can't touch the assets in the trust. Also used to do things with inheritance that you can't in a will.
JohnSmithterms
This makes no sense at all. Also I wonder if he's a criminal who does not want to be sued. Also this happened like 10 years ago.
Rauca
2019 according to all the newspaper reports.

Same as the others in these replies. My family are horrid people who would come out of the woodwork to claim anything they could.
AntiProtonBoy
Which part doesn’t make sense at all?

I'm 44. I moved away from where I went to high school at when I was like 18-19. I lost all contact with them then. I can guarantee if I ...1

Publicly appeared as a giant Powerball winner, at least a couple of the people I went to high school with would just try to show up again.
TheFeralDog
Why you'd want to claim anonymous, or why you can't do so in many states, why you'd wear a mask?
TheFeralDog
1- So old acquaintances don't come knocking or you aren't robbed a killed (has happened more than once to lotto winners)
TheFeralDog
2- They don't allow anonymous claims in some states in an effort to keep transparency and prove not rigged, so it required to be public info

3- In addition to claiming anonymously often time there are cameras set in place where you need to claim the prize so not releasing your...
