Your dream has come true and you’ve won the big bucks playing the lottery. ✨ Congrats!
But what if you are one of the lucky winners who doesn’t want their identity revealed to the world?
Well, the short answer is: the level of anonymity lottery winners can keep depends on their state’s guidelines.
Some states allow winners to conceal their identity if the winnings are over a certain amount. Other states, such as New York, make it easy to claim the prize under an LLC. Many states don't allow lottery winners to stay anonymous because they consider the winner’s information to be public record.
