'Public is entitled to know how we do our work' In California, the winner’s name is considered public record and the state lottery said a winner's full name, the name and location of the retailer that sold the ticket, and the amount of the winnings, including the gross and net installment payments, are all subject to disclosure. While lottery winners are often advised by financial experts to not tell anyone that they've won, only some states allow winners to remain anonymous.Ĭarolyn Becker, a spokesperson with the California State Lottery, emphasized that only the name of the winner is released in the state as this follows the state’s Public Records Act. The jackpot is the largest prize ever in lottery history after it climbed to $2.04 billion on Tuesday and the lump sum for the jackpot was at $997.6 million. But it could be a while before the identity of the Powerball winner is revealed as the winner of the record jackpot has a year to claim their prize, according to the California State Lottery website. The winning ticket was sold in California, matching all six numbers that were pulled in the delayed drawing – which was held Tuesday morning due to a participating lottery needing additional time to process its sales and play data, the Multi-State Lottery Association said. Whoever won the $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot Tuesday will have to reveal an identity eventually, as many states forbid lottery winners to remain anonymous.
