How much, if anything, are you giving family members?

    Assuming it’s a substantial amount, I’m insulating myself behind an LLC which will cash the ticket in on my behalf and telling precisely nobody.

      Doesn’t this only work if the LLC is created before the purchase of the ticket? In addition, LLC docs are public record, you can look up the operators registered under an LLC

        It’s a whole thing, basically a lawyer does it for you so your name isn’t on it that way. I read a write up about it a few years ago so I’m being vague but still possibly getting it wrong in the retelling.

        When the ticket was bought isn’t relevant so much as who is signing… but security cameras at convenience stores are a thing so it’s still possible to get outed.

          Interesting. I do think it’s bullshit that you can’t claim a ticket anonymously in a lot of states. I get having to provide info for tax purposes, but you shouldn’t be required to publicly announce your personal info to claim it
