A judge rules that a New Hampshire woman can remain anonymous after winning $560 million prize in January. The lady won the Powerball but didn’t want to let the public know who she was. She signed the ticket but decided that she didn’t want her name to become public. New Hampshire state law requires the release of a winner’s name. The lady wanted to stay private so she had an law firm create a trust so that she wouldn’t have to reveal her name and hometown. The State of New Hampshire fought her decision in court but ultimately a Judge ruled that the trust could collect the $560 million prize and the woman could remain anonymous.
