Powerball "technical glitch"?

If I won, there would only be a handful of people on the planet who knew. McRib, and a few professionals who signed NDAs.
I wouldn't not change my lifestyle abruptly, publicly, or ostentatiously.

If you won in TN the TN lottery has the right to use your name and likeness in advertising. I looked it up once.

no
they must release your name and county of residence if requested
big no to the likeness, unless that's changed in the past three years or so
you can also claim it as a trust, but not a blind trust (or you could do this at one time)

I could have it wrong but I was sure you couldn't claim the prize anonymously in TN.

you can CLAIM it that way, BUT if someone requests name the lottery will release it
might be time enough to disappear
the key is there is not a "press conference requirement" type deal, unless they've changed the law the past two or three years

Yeah, I was wrong. They have to release your name and hometown if it is requested. A prize this big you know damn well there would be multiple requests.

In accordance with the Tennessee Education Lottery Implementation Law, the Tennessee Education Lottery Corporation releases the name, home state, and hometown of winners if an eligible request is received for such information.

right
here a while back, though, someone claimed it as a trust in Tennessee (meaning that person never signed the back of the ticket as the person/taxpayer)
now some states allow blind trusts to claim the prizes
VA requires press conferences
and (VERY INTERESTINGLY) California does NOT impose state income taxes on lottery prizes hahahahahaha
or if they do, it's a very recent thing

I heard someone say if you won, do not sign the back of the ticket. If you sign you give up the right to remain anonymous. May not be the rule in TN but i dont know.

One winner for the Powerball out of the socialist state of California takes home $2.04 billion. The cash option is $997.6 million, or probably about $200 million after taxes once the feds and the state of CA are done with the winner.

I would buy VN and kick all the arseholes off of it.

@joevol33 would be left by himself here.

I also always wanted to start a cult. Maybe use that as a way around the taxes.

Winner in Cali. Not that I’m sorry for them and they won’t be able to get by, but ... that is the worst State to win in. State government gonna take a huge chunk.

Very very few professional golfers make their residency in Cali anymore, just about all have flown the coup to FL, GA and TX

Even though CNBC, an interesting read:
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/11/sta...t-their-sights-on-pro-athletes-earnings-.html

From the article:
The tax picture for athletes gets more complicated for “away” games.
States with an income tax generally tax all income earned in the state by non-residents.
A visiting team of professional athletes can mean many thousands of dollars in state tax revenue for every day they spend in-state.
In a normal season, an average National Football League player will file between eight to 12 non-resident state tax returns, said Losi.
National Basketball Association players file 16 to 20 of these tax returns, while Major League Baseball players may submit 20 to 25.

Also:
The objective for states is to tax as many so-called “duty days” of non-resident athletes as they can. They generally include game days, travel days and any part of a day spent within the state.

Lopez keeps a spreadsheet for every athlete-client detailing where they are each day, backed up in many cases by a cellphone app that tracks their location.

States can and do demand proof of athletes’ whereabouts.
