I believe you could set up a blind trust to claim the winnings anonymously, but I could be wrong. There is nothing I'd rather in that instance than to have some expensive lawyer in front of that podium firing out lines like "Yes, the money has been claimed" and "Yes the winner is elated". No letters from people begging me to pay their mortgage.
Meanwhile, I'd be out shopping for a house on the water on the Cape and a sweet boat to park out back.
