    She won $560 million — the 7th largest jackpot in U.S. lottery history. Now, all she wants is to remain anonymous.http://nyti.ms/2C5INw2

        She should automatically have that right to anonymity. It should be policy/law.

        And then every lottery would be 'fixed within a week. Disclosure is the only real way to prevent this. If she doesn't like the rules, she can sign her ticket over directly to a charity.

        I think her name can be verified and on file, but I see no need to make it public so that she has to incur an onslaught of unwanted contacts and exposure.

        They need to not identify her. It will ruin her life.

        I won a meat-tray once in a raffle and I wanted to remain anonymous. I became paranoid someone was going to steal my sausages and friend me for my steaks.

        Refuse it. That's one way to keep it anonymous.

        Freedom of speech should also include freedom from having to speak, your views, your religion, your address, your name. Coercion is not only evil, its unconstitutional.

        So?? Why doesn't she have the right to privacy? Why do they need to disclose who she is??

        The public needs to know who wins the lottery so the lottery runners don't just award each game to their friends. The policy is for integrity, not publicity.

        Lottery jackpot winners trade that right - voluntarily - when they claim the check.

        Oh.. how about having a judge verify that the winner is on the up and up? That way privacy is maintained??
