How do you remain anonymous if you win the lottery in California?
Also question is, what states allow lottery winners to remain anonymous?
Delaware, Kansas, Maryland, North Dakota, Ohio and South Carolina all allow lottery winners to remain anonymous if that's what the winners prefer, according to Maryland Lottery and Gaming. Lottery winners in Texas can also stay private if they wish to.
Keeping this in consideration, do California Lottery winners have to go public?
California has required that the names of winners be made public since voters first passed Proposition 37, also known as the California State Lottery Act, in 1984. Only six states allow lottery winners to remain anonymous — Delaware, Kansas, Maryland, North Dakota, Ohio and South Carolina.
Typically, the choice to remain anonymous after you win the lottery may not be yours. Remaining anonymous when you win the lottery can only be done in six U.S. states: Delaware, Kansas, Maryland, North Dakota, Ohio and South Carolina.
