If you win the $1.1 billion Mega Millions jackpot and you purchased your ticket in Florida, your identity will remain a secret -- for 90 days.
There are states that allow winners to remain anonymous forever. This includes: State law in Delaware allows winners to remain anonymous, according to the Delaware Lottery Games.The Kansas Lottery says winners may request to have their name and residence kept a secret, "and the Kansas Lottery is happy to honor that request," the organization says on its website.Lottery winners have the right to remain anonymous in Maryland, according to the state's lottery organization.
However, in 2021, the freedom of anonymity was challenged by a man who filed an open records request with the state Lottery Commission; he was seeking the names, contact information, date and jackpot amounts of winners of $1 million or more for a 12-month period in 2013 and 2014, according to the Associated Press . The commission then sued the man.
As an alternative, winners might be able to form a blind trust through their attorney so that winnings can be anonymously received, State Farm advises. State Farm also warns that lottery winners should read each game’s rules and contract before signing their winning ticket.
