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.

LINK to powerball.com

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.

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.

Every state lotto is setup differently. Some states do not require the winners to be known. Some do not.
