Daily Talker: Anonymity For Powerball Winners?

It's the biggest Powerball jackpot in history. Right now, Saturday's jackpot has reached $700 million and it's still growing. People across the country are scrambling to buy tickets and daydreaming of what they would do with all that money. A million-dollar winning ticket from Wednesday's drawing was sold at a store in Plymouth. So far, that winner hasn't come forward.

In Massachusetts, lottery regulations state a "claimant's name, city or town, image, amount of prize, claim date and game are public record." That means photos are taken and will be used to publicize the winnings. Some financial planning experts claim even if you're not allowed to remain anonymous, there are ways to try to keep your winnings private. For example, you can create an LLC or non-profit.

The Powerball website says some states are considering a one-year period of anonymity to give winners time to get their finances in order and get used to their new lifestyle.

What do you think? Should winners have to go public? Would you want to go public or remain anonymous?
