I tell myself that I’d be like the other rich people here in Vancouver - anonymous, secluded, and relatively safe due to the high numbers of them. Being in a small town would be brutal.

Yeah, it seems weird that if you can set up an anonymous trust before you sign the ticket, why can’t you do it after you sign the ticket without the lottery publicizing it?

I read a WaPo article about it this morning, and the detractors stressed “accountability”. Avoiding corruption is important, yes, but overall I’m on the side of anonymity.

I completely understand her stance. I have fantasies where I think of winning a large sum of money and how I absolutely would not want anyone to know. I would be incredibly generous with it, but I would not want to be targeted.

A lottery that doesn’t publish winners is a lottery no one should trust. That is just ripe for corruption.

Yup, this is why I refuse to play the lottery until they can issue bitcoin payouts.

“This can happen for you!” It’s basic advertising.

Word. I have many plans for when I win the lottery and staying anonymous is key to all of them. I guess I should figure out how to set up a trust.

She was unaware of the protocol which would allow her to remain behind the curtain.

Jane Doe is fighting the good fight. Because I also want to remain anonymous if I win hundreds of millions of dollars.

I’ve never understood the argument for identifying state lottery winners.

I think the permits are mainly to avoid different scouts (or maybe their “can I see a manager” moms) from competing (fighting) to occupy the same location.

These rules are horse shit and consistently unenforceable. Everyone who love sweets loves Girl Scout cookies. These arent hard to sell to people. The damn things are being sold everywhere. Inside and outside stores. I know because i dont have the will power not to buy.

those girls were brilliant but hold up: you were at a Phish show and you don’t even smoke?!

You literally cannot get in trouble for being too successful in america unless you’re a little girl.

Which is funny considering entrepreneurism is about doing things outside the box.

A few years ago there were Girl Scouts set up in the parking lot of a Phish show I went to in upstate New York. I thought they were geniuses. I don’t even smoke, but I bought a box.

“Dude, I’m telling you a Keebler Elf totally sold me these cookies right outside the pot store. She was wearing her elf uniform and everything.”

So the Girl Scouts are going to punish her. But still keep all the money she made for them. Correct?

Don’t take your photo outside a dispensary - just sayin.
