Good luck - once the ticket is signed the winner is obligated to have their name and picture published.

MERRIMACK - Newly filed court records show a local woman won the $560 million Powerball ticket sold last month in Merrimack but is now trying to keep her identity anonymous - even though she already signed the back of the winning ticket - due to safety and other concerns.

"She has described the signing as 'a huge mistake,'" according to court records filed by her legal counsel at Hillsborough County Superior Court South in Nashua.

The woman, identified in court documents only as Jane Doe, asked that her identity remain a secret even though existing New Hampshire Lottery Commission rules require a winner sign the back of a winning ticket before being able to claim the prize. However, had the ticket been signed in the name of a trust, she could have maintained her privacy.

I would give my ticket to Queen K, and offer her $1,000,000 of the winnings to claim she was the winner. Then when the relatives and "friends" come knocking, she can let them in on her secret, and tell them that she was paid chunk change to act as the fall person, and they'll have no choice but to go away.

Annunity or lump sum? Don't forget the 30% withholding tax the IRS takes off the top. You can reclaim a portion if you fill in the proper documents.

I’d be overjoyed to pay the 30% on that kind of winnings.....

Collect the money.

Pay the govt to put you into a witness protection program.

Problem solved.
