Now in Florida |
Im not surprised they ruled this way. I am surprised that the state lottery was so eager to name her that they would go to court over it. In Florida, this wouldn't be an issue. State law does not allow for anonymity of lottery winners. You can form a trust for estate planning purposes but you still have to provide your real name, which can be and is always disclosed. | |||

While I am surprised I am also happy for her and hoping there can be a nationwide change in the system. Why should a person suddenly be inundated with all every form of [targeted] sob stories and scams out there? Life moves pretty fast.

Don’t you think the bureaucracy is unable to vary or interpret the statutory language, while the court is able to excuse slight discrepancies, “tie goes to the runner,” “horseshoes and hand grenades, close counts,” Etc? It is not strictly precedential, but it is precedential imformally. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

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 | |||

From the article linked by Paten:
Exactly what "public interest" is served by publishing her name? None that I can see.
This will cover the person who "accidentally" leaks her name to the press.
Well, he might as well have just printed her name himself. She never had a prayer of remaining anonymous, and still doesn't. | |||

It might not be over for this case.

Maybe. I have never heard of a losing litigant saying after receiving the decision and thinking it over say, “Well, I guess we were just wrong.” They were right, the judge/jury got it wrong, misunderstood, didn’t realize....., failed to consider, was biased against us, was canoodeling the other side, etc., never we were wrong.

It doesn't sound like you worked for a large company. Obviously, nobody says it publicly, but lose a case and the long knives come out. Instead of saying, “Well, I guess we were just wrong” they say, "I've been telling you sons of bitches to settle" or "I've been telling you that you had the wrong strategy."

Oh, I’ve heard that, probably even said it more than once but never heard anyone say they were wrong. Big difference.

if all 400 people of the the state and lottery commission are the most honest people on the planet , no , no one should have to go through that. but the first time that Jenny and Joe sticky fingers decides to be dishonest , by not really winning the lottery , but accepting the prize money , because there is no way to trace who actually gets the money , then what ? out of four hundred people that you know personally , how many have never , ever, lied cheated , stolen or deceived? https://www.desmoinesregister....-25-years/566642001/ Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency.

Because there is a public interest in knowing who the winner is. What happens if the name is released, and someone figures out that the winner has some sort of connection to lottery officials? That would be something I think the public would want to know. Edit: And I didn't see that Bendable beat me to it

I think the bigger issue nationwide with lottery winners is the numbers that have been specifically targeted by criminals once their names have been published, along with their photographs... if I recall, several recent lottery winners have been killed I probably know the lady, Merrimack is a moderately small New England town where everyone knows everyone, and I'm willing to bet that a lot of people already know who she is but will respect her privacy besides, the State already got the money from the players - why do they care beyond that?

I know of at least three here in Illinois: A man in Downers Grove, I think, poisoned most likely by his wife, and a mother and son both murdered in their home in Sycamore. In both cases, prizes were under $1 million, and the murders go unsolved. Think of the temptation a large jackpot would present. -------------------------- 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 | |||

Well, its not like we've let 12 million lawbreakers into the USA from parts of the world where kidnapping and ransom is an integral part of the culture. ____________________ | |||
