    Your name can be kept secret when you win the lottery... You hire a lawyer and create a limited liability company or LLC then the money is award to whatever name of the company that you have created...

    This is from the Megamillions site faq:

    Can a Mega Millions jackpot winner claim the prize anonymously?
    Public disclosure laws vary from state to state. Some states require their lotteries to publicly identify winners, while others do not. Check with your Mega Millions state lottery.

    Here's what Wisconsin's answer to that question:
    No. Wisconsin has an “open records law.” Most information that state government produces or controls is available to any organization or person requesting it. Only information “in the public’s interest” may be released by a government agency. The lottery, upon request, must release the name and city of the winner. Any other information about the winner will be released only with the winner’s consent. Likewise, it is the winner's choice if they would like to speak to the media. It is not required, nor can it be prevented.
