fandandy 3,311 Posted February 9, 2018 I think it's dangerous that they don't let you claim it anonymously. You do have a year I think. In that time I think I would begin to identify as a female mooslim and show up to collect my winnings wearing a burqa. Fock em. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cruzer 1,992 Posted February 9, 2018 She needs to get over it........ The Gods gifted her this unbelievable fortune - and now she's biitching about it.

Thornton Melon 544 Posted February 9, 2018 I'd 100% want to stay anonymous......yet before this story I always thought the first thing you were supposed to do was sign the ticket. So this has been educational for when I inevitably win this thing. I read something years ago that said if you live in a state where you can take your winnings as a trust, do NOT sign the ticket. But I'm sure not a lot of people know that. Until this happened, I bet a lot more people knew that you can take the winnings as a trust, than knew that you're not supposed to sign your name if you do so. NH is a state where you can take the winnings as a trust, but I bet the back of the ticket tells you to sign it because it's a bearer instrument, or some shight like that. If I'm the judge, I'm ruling in her favor. Fock the state... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NorthernVike 2,080 Posted February 9, 2018 What's the lottery do with it? It varies by state. Looks like much of the winnings go back to the state from which it came. Better than paying the taxes on it for the states. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also stupid for not having trust sign the ticket if she was that worried about her identity. As regards that second part, it's understandable. I mean literally every damn Lottery website has a section for what to do if you have a winning ticket. And damn near every one of them says first thing sign the ticket! In fact, I bet a bunch of websites get changed in the next few weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
