I want to know if you can remain anonymous when collecting Lottery Winnings in New Jersey, New York,
and Pennsylvania.



Legal Topic Area: Estate Planning in NJ

You can remain anonymous, however, the lottery winnings are taxed, and a tax paying entity must be identified. It is my undesigning that you can establish a trust, obtain a tax payer identification number for the trust, and allow the trust to accept the lottery winnings. The trust would then be taxed.
