A Powerball winner is allowed to stay anonymous while collecting her $560 million jackpot, a New Hampshire judge ruled on Monday.


Clever girl...she might be one of the few to actually stay wealthy.

I love beautiful skinny pale White, Asian and Arab cis-women, especially their clean bare feet, and the high I get from their aroma.

They've already narrowed it down to females living in New Hampshire.

If she wants to stay anonymous, why eliminate 90% of the country as possible winners?

the spirit of the rule is to show proof that people are winning the prizes and its not a scam, so i understand where the lotto is coming from...but the obvious dangers to the winner far outweigh that need.

Good. I see no reason why they should be forced to come out publicly.

My wife's extended family constantly tries to get money from us and we aren't even well off, I can't imagine how horrible it would be if we suddenly had hundreds of millions. Would definitely keep it on the down low, smart.

I think that'd be faaaaaar more irritating rather than interesting.

What I'd find more interesting is how many families out there would 100% honestly say (and prove) that they wouldn't hound a relative/friend for money if that person won the lottery jackpot.

I bet hot girls who turned me down would do a 180 and say "I always liked you, I was just shy! Can I chill in your hot tub with you at your mansion?" Hahaha, that would be very entertaining. And then I would turn them down, because bae liked me before I had millions.

One of the more well documented stories of this is Eminem right after he got really famous in 1999-2000. He claimed somewhere upwards of 60-70 relatives started mailing him asking what was up. This when he grew up alone with his addict mom in a trailer park

Good, the whole "prove it's not rigged" logic behind identifying lottery winners has always been really dubious.

Good for her, I disagree with the decision, it fucks with the integrity of the lotto.

This, that's why I never cared about winning because I had to come out saying I did. I did always have a plan that I would split the dough with a friend if he came out as the winner in my place.
