Lawyers for a New Hampshire woman who won a $559.7-million US Powerball jackpot are appearing before a judge today to request that she remain anonymous.
The woman, identified as Jane Doe, filed a complaint in Hillsborough Superior Court in Nashua that says she signed the back of the ticket following the Jan. 6 drawing, the nation’s eighth-largest lottery jackpot.
Under New Hampshire law, a lottery winner’s name, town and prize amount are public information. But after the woman contacted a lawyer, she learned she could have shielded her identity by instead writing the name of a trust.
The woman hasn’t turned in her ticket yet. Lottery officials say they must process the ticket like any other.
