Board 8 > NH woman who won $559 MILLION wants to remain ANONYMOUS..but she CAN'T!!!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

An Anonymous New Hampshire woman who won the $559 million daily double jackpot last month is LOSING $14,000 a DAY as she waits to see if a judge will grant her requeset to cash in her winnings, ironically, anonymously!!

The Jane Doe won the January 6th draw in the nation's 8th largest jackpot and signed the back of her ticket to claim her prize....

But she delayed the cashing in of her ticket and will go to court this Tuesday to fight for her privacy and in turn avoid the lotto "curse" that haunted ill fated winners of the past!!

Under NH law, a lottery winner's name, town and prize amount is public information but she made a "huge mistke" in signing the ticket as lawyers tell her she could have written the name of a trust to shield her identity

But now under her lawyer's advice, time is of the essence as the delayed resolution is causing her to lose 14,000 a day where if she just accepted a lump sum, received 268 million right now

Regardless of the outcome, she wants this solved immediately so that the bleeding will stop.

She wants to donate a portion of her money to charity but she doesn't want the "attention' that comes with it as the lotto curse have claimed past winners from MURDERS to robberies to stalkers and even SUICIDE

Do you think lotto winners should be allowed to be anonymous? let's see what people think

I feel for these people, but if lotto winners could remain anonymous, it would only be a matter of time before we get lotto winners that are "coincidentally" related to state officials or the head of the lotto company.

How is this ironic?

plenty of states have anonymous lotteries

Can't you have public anonymity and still have an employee who's job it is to check to make sure the winner is not suspicious?

I don't think 1 state employee knowing would be terrible.

Wouldn't be hard to bribe or intimidate them.

I feel for her, I would want to remain anonymous if I won that much money

Yes, obviously. The objection males no sense.

Further, there's a world of difference between public information and only one person knowing. Make it that only the lottery commission knows and just doesn't publicly comment and the "problem" is solved, that was easy.
