re: Do you have to give your identity when you win the lottery.

Plus, many states only allow you to claim at the headquarters of it is a significant amount. Also, they require an appointment for jackpot claims. Maybe they plan of informing media when you will show??? Answer is name change to opposite sex, movie makeover shop that you give no name and pay cash to make you look completely different, claim prize, and change name back. Instead of blonde hair Joe that family and friends know, everyone doesn't recognize red haired Rhonda.
