Money: Why New York doesn’t allow anonymous lottery winners (and HOW to stay secret)

[jawnswoop]

people have been killed over lottery winnings..

Yet, some idiot on BGOL thinks it isn't a big deal with states not not allowing a person to be anonymous.

 

[jawnswoop]

All states should allow a person to remain anonymous because a person can easily get killed after winning all that money.

But I'm glad this thread gives a loophole on how to be anonymous using another strategy.

I don't understand,why it's a problem for a lottery winner to be anonymous. I wouldn't want random family members and friends to know where I live at. And,we've had people mysteriously die after winning the lottery.

An easy act of sabotage if you have crashouts in your family, or in your peer group. They are never happy that you won.
