Smart move to stay anonymous 🙌

[@JD4A84]

It's a good way to allow cheating. The guy who rigged the lotto america would have gotten away with it had he been able to stay anonymous. He was recognized as one of the IT guys who programmed the machines at one time or another. It was enough time for him to place a code in the machine that allowed him to pick the winning numbers. That was in the news several years ago. He's probably out of jail by now.

All States should be Anonymous. My state claims transparency is why you can't be Anonymous. It should be up to the winner.

Wow happy for them congratulations! 👍😊

[@user-xs5bl9dy6d]

So this proves you can't always have the option to remain anonymous when claiming your lottery winnings. If they had to implement a law that allowed you to this year.

[@christophercolumbus8944]

i hate this

[@Old_Mansplaining]

Lottery is a tax on poor people , then government takes the money and launderers it to connected democrats.

[@James-yl4vr]

As if Republicans aren’t rich either as they obtain wealth unethically 😂

[@user-xs5bl9dy6d]
