Winner of $560 Million Sues to Remain Anonymous

[laserhaas]

A $560 million lottery ticket is in jeopardy as the winner risks her fortune to remain anonymous.

After winning the Powerball a month ago, one woman has yet to cash in.

In New Hampshire, an unidentified woman won a Powerball jackpot of $559.7 million in January - but she still hasn't claimed her winnings. NewHampshire.com has received court documents that a Jane Doe wishes to receive the jackpot winnings while remaining anonymous, which is not usually allowed.

The New Hampshire Lottery Commission requires that lottery winners write their name, address, and telephone number on the back of the lucky ticket. The woman who won the $560 million jackpot quickly signed her name on the back, but has called that a "huge mistake."

The winner could have remained anonymous had the ticket been signed in the name of a trust, but Jane Doe was not aware she could do that before she wrote her own name. After learning she won the jackpot, the woman went to the lottery's website and read the rules before discussing the situation with legal counsel.
