Maybe a mistake. The only thing required is the publication of the winners name and where the ticket was bought. The winner does not have to have her face posted or published. Soon many will be able to put “2 and 2” together. Her name and face. Now she will need a security detail when she goes to the lottery office to claim her ticket.

There are ways around that. There are attorneys who specialize in helping big lottery winner remain anonymous. The trick is to not put your personal name on the back of the ticket. The state lottery commission HAS to announce whatever the name is on the signature. The attorney helps you FIRST form an LLC (Limited Liability Corporation). You sign the name of the LLC on the back of the ticket. The press NOW has no individual person's name to announce or interview. The Winner's NAME is never announced in the press. Hence, NO INTERVIEW, NO PICTURES. There are YT videos that explain this.

"7 THINGS TO DO IF YOU WIN THE LOTTERY": That's the title of a KZfaq video she should have consulted before running around the store with her FACE in the cameras (or was it the cameras in her face?). It's too late for her. Her FACE is now out there for every "relative" to see and come looking for their "cut." But why oh why do I think she is NOT the actual winner. I didn't hear her SAY she won, just that she was "so scared." I would be too.

The lottery has been proven to be rigged. The joke is, “I know it’s rigged, I just hope it’s rigged for me.” The numbers aren’t chosen at random. There is a computer that chooses the numbers.

Everyone is talking about how she should have kept the info to herself - that should be a big sign of something not adding up. For the same reason you don't walk around with large bling bling jewelry or carrying a wad of cash in your hand- you want to avoid getting robbed. Odds are high she is NOT the winner and just decided to pretend to win to get a free 15 minutes of fame. The REAL winner is likely laying low and contacting attorneys to make plans on how to proceed with their new fortune.

We don't know whether or not she is either homeless or someone with a big heart. We don't even know whether she is actually the winner. But SOMEONE won it is all we know. But I am glad you can be glad for someone even if it isn't you. For sure, YOU have a big heart. 😇
