Judge rules mystery Powerball winner can keep name private

[SoCalNative]

A judge has ruled in favour of a New Hampshire lottery winner who sued the state to keep her identity private.

The mystery winner, who claimed a $560m (£400m) jackpot, argued that her right to privacy outweighed public interest in learning her name.

Revealing her name publicly would amount to an "invasion of privacy" for the 6 January winner, a judge wrote.

But the judge said he will not block the name of her hometown, which will be released to the public.
