The rule as it stands states that winning ticket-holders may remain anonymous. The proposed revision provides additional information about “how the lottery will engage with winners.”
“While players may choose to maintain their anonymity publicly when they file a claim, proper identification must still be presented for internal processing so that State agencies are able to share information for debts owed to the State or federal government,” reads the notice.
Meanwhile, the proposal states that “second chance drawing” winners and other winners of lottery giveaways that do not require a participation cost are not subject to the provisions surrounding anonymity.
