People's ideas of what they would do with lottery money are easily among the most stupid things I've ever heard and for some reason these sort of people are the ones who win. No one's life, liberty or property is safe while the legislature is in session.- Mark Twain | |||

I guess you could call this a small win for the woman. A woman who won a $559.7 million Powerball jackpot will get her money as a legal fight over releasing her identity plays out in court. In a court filing on Thursday, the New Hampshire Lottery Commission approved the payment to a trust the woman set up. The winning ticket will be placed in a secure location until a court decides whether it’s subject to the state’s Right to Know Law. Lawyers for the woman, identified as Jane Doe, say she signed the back of the ticket following the Jan. 6 drawing, the nation’s eighth-largest lottery jackpot, without realizing it would result in her name and address being made public. Under New Hampshire law, a lottery winner’s name, town and prize amount are public information. Her resulting dilemma – forgo either a once-in-a-lifetime payday, or her anonymity – is legally impermissible, according to her attorney. "She is a longtime resident of New Hampshire and is an engaged community member," the woman’s attorney wrote in court documents. "She wishes to continue this work and the freedom to walk into a grocery store or attend public events without being known or targeted as the winner of a half-billion dollars." http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018...rize-in-account.html | |||

It's a trap. If she takes the money now, and the court decides against her, it's too late to decide if she wants to forgo the prize in favor of her anonymity. I doubt they'd let her return it. -------------------------- Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H L Mencken I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. -- JALLEN 10/18/18 | |||

I believe in the principle of Due Process |
Can you imagine being a judge in that court? “How was court today, honey?” Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

She thinks her life won't change after receiving $500M. Bless her heart. Hedley Lamarr: Wait, wait, wait. I'm unarmed. Bart: Alright, we'll settle this like men, with our fists. Hedley Lamarr: Sorry, I just remembered . . . I am armed. | |||

Yeah, going into the same stores, seeing the same people. Sure, you bet, lady. As I said previously- she's an imbecile. I hope she loses all of it. | |||

She’s won life changing money. Use the time to set-up shell corporations and anonymity. Most importantly, slip away quietly and change your life. If the court doesn’t rule against you, you’ve still protected yourself from someone in your existing community figuring it out. Hell, with that kind of money you could buy a house 6+ hours away and move all of your old belongings into it. You could even meet up with old friends there for a weekend and pretend you live there. Pop in time to time and post shit on social media from there.

Does she really think that word hasn't already begun to leak that she won?

As Extraordinary as Everyone Else |
I grew up in the town where the ticket was bought (and probably where the purchaser lives). When I was there it was a very small town where everyone knew everyone else's businesses. Although the town has grown I'm sure if she's a long time resident that it won't be long until everyone there knows who she is... ------------------ Eddie Our Founding Fathers were men who understood that the right thing is not necessarily the written thing. -kkina | |||

Knowing is Half the Battle |
"In 2018 a woman won the lottery and promptly filed a lawsuit for a ticket she wished she hadn't took. Today, still wanted by the paparazzi for a prize she hasn't claimed, she survives as a woman of fortune. She has a problem...no one else can help...I hope she can find them...maybe she should hire...The A-Team." | |||

probably a good thing I don't have a cut |
Just saw this update on Fox. Not what I was expecting. Judge rules $560M Powerball jackpot winner can remain anonymous | |||

I didn't expect to see that judgement. Has a precedent be set for future winners who wish to remain anonymous? | |||
