IIRC a few years back someone from the Lafayette area had won one of the bigger lotteries maybe the Powerball but was possibly able to keep their anonymity either by setting up a trust as the recipient or maybe having an attorney claim it.

Is this accurate? Don’t recall hearing about it after the fact and was just curious as to the details and if it worked out.

I think I figured out why you never heard how it worked out.

Louisiana - Ending growing speculation about the whereabouts of Louisiana’s 16th Powerball jackpot-winning ticket, worth an estimated $191.1 million, Lafayette attorney Jean C. Breaux Jr. appeared at Lottery headquarters this morning [Dec. 12, 2017]with it and claimed the prize via a Power of Attorney on behalf of his client, a three-member family partnership.

The group, 292 Family Partnership, opted for the lump sum prize payment option equal to the cash value of the jackpot, which was $119,492,685 for the Oct. 25 drawing. The payout represents the largest single prize ever won in the Lottery’s 26-year history.

Pretty smart route to go. Something tells me they might have a shot at staying wealthy if that's the opening move.

There was a Lafayette Powerball winner and a Mega Millions winner from just outside of Lake Charles, both used the same method of forming a family partnership and accepting the prize, through an attorney, in the name of the partnership entity.

For any prize of a million dollars or more, it's worth putting up the privacy shield.

Used to work with the person at Halliburton. Was a mud engineer. Was offshore when the numbers were called out. Got a flight in the next morning and never came back. Good dude overall.

I can’t imagine what that initial burst of freedom would feel like.

Wow! Not bad. That’s worth what, like, thirteen…fourteen hundred dollars now?

Man......I'm not sure I'd want to stay anonymous.

What's worse? Either you're:

1. Constantly having to hide the fact that your net worth increased $40mil overnight.

Or

2. You're rich, and you spend at least an hour a day telling people to frick off when they ask for money.

I think I might have to get used to telling people to frick off.

The anonymous single-ticket winner of the 2018 Powerball from South Carolina considers those people poors. That ticket won a jackpot of $1.537 billion.
