Lottery Winner Can Remain Unidentified, Judge Rules

A New Hampshire woman who won $560 million in the multi-state Powerball lottery can remain anonymous but the town she lives in must be disclosed, a judge ruled.
The woman signed the back of her ticket, which the state lottery commission argued means her name has to be made public, under state law. A New Hampshire assistant attorney general also recently argued that it's in the public interest to disclose the woman's identity, saying "The lottery thrives on transparency," according to The Union Leader.
