      Makes sense to keep first name and initial for last name. Imagine having an internet target on your back for the rest of your life. The world has changed

      They bring up the two jackpot winners who recently claimed the $80 million jackpot from December, but the local London paper published their full names even when Lotto Max only showed the last initial.

      I buy the odd lottery ticket because it’s fun to dream. But besides dreaming about the awesome places I could travel, I also think about how to fend off leaches. Practically impossible to lay low.

      Winning a couple mil would be cool. Pay off mortgage, invest, and never tell a soul. Just gradually enjoy life more and more by working less, and earning interest from investments.

      Winning 50 mil would be fucked. Long forgotten acquaintances from high school suddenly trying to add you as a friend, dickhead half-brother that was always mean suddenly wants to go shoot pool this weekend, re-enamored ex girlfriend that gas lit you that the only way you’d ever get anywhere would be by winning the lottery… Lol.

      I suppose I could have fun with it. Like a light version of Count of Monte Cristo. Yeah, bro. I’ll buy you a vehicle. A fucking school bus. Or a Cybertruck. Or maybe a super expensive vehicle that you couldn’t afford to insure. Here’s a Lambo. Enjoy staring at it in your parking stall. Haha.

      For the euro millions and many European lotteries, you have the possibility to stay anonymous, ans I don’t think it ever cause any trust issue.

      I’m really not sure it is necessary to requier the name and picture to be public

      They say winning the lottery is the worst thing that could happen to you. I’d retire to New Zealand or Scotland.

      I always wondered what if your entire family was from a country where having sudden wealth put them at risk for kidnapping why can’t you claim without disclosing your identity.

      I get they want the photo with the cheque but it puts others at risk in some cases.

      About time. I came across a post on Reddit that made me think about “what would you do” a while back. It was written for an American but most of the advice is still relevant. This is the one I saved but as the poster identifies, they are not the original. People not being able to learn your name would help and I hope the rest of the provinces follow suit.

      Thank goodness. I want my winnings to be secret! I’ll wear a mask and wig.

      This won’t make one iota of a difference. If your picture is up there and your first name is up there. AU and facial recognition will find you in an instant. If you’ve ever posted a face shot on Facebook, Twitter, BlueSky, YouTube you WILL be found.

      You SHOULD be able to collect winnings anonymously.

      On a side note, could you hire a law firm to claim it on your behalf for a fee?
