If someone wins the jackpot in Saturday's Powerball drawing,VAS Community there is a possibility that person's identity will never be known.

Laws in 18 states allow lottery winners to collect prizes anonymously, meaning that we may never know who wins the estimated $750 million dollar jackpot.

In 2022, the winners of a Mega Millions jackpot in Illinois remained anonymous under state law, with the Illinois Lottery describing them as, “two individuals, who agreed to split the prize if won – and they stayed true to that word," in a press release.

Here are the places where winners can anonymously claim lottery prizes, and the requirements for them.
