This feels just wrong. And i can't find a single reason for this. Let the winner at least buy security before calling them out.
Yes, there should be at least a winner protection program or some sort.
But it's clearly stated that Wisconsin has now laws regarding that therefore, all bettors here are supposed to know already and understand what they are up to once they won. They are not even forced to bet in the lottery in the first place.
Actually, if that's my case, I'd rather strongly hope first that luck will hit me as to how to claim the money, at least, in private, can think about later on.
Laws regarding anonymity of lottery winners vary from state to state within the United States. For example in Illinois, anyone who win more than $250,000 can opt for their name and residence details to be kept anonymous. In case the request is not made, then the lottery has all the rights to publicize their details. Similar laws are applicable in Kansas, Delaware, Maryland, Texas. In Minnesota, the winner doesn't need to do anything. Any player winning a prize greater than $10,000 by default gains the right to remain anonymous (unless they opt against it). But in most of the other states, the winners doesn't have any such rights and Wisconsin is one of them.
