Cash 4 Life Staying Anonymous
Discover where you can stay anonymous if you win a Cash4Life prize, as rules differ from state to state.
In some locations, the lottery operator has to release details about big winners as it is regarded as public information that everyone has a right to know. However, other jurisdictions are not so strict and leave it to individuals to decide.
It is also possible sometimes to claim prizes as a legal trust, which satisfies a lottery’s demand for a winner to be revealed, but effectively keeps you anonymous.
IThe table below outlines each state’s stance. Remember that you have to follow the rules that are set out where you bought your ticket, even if it is not where you live.
