What’s in it
AI summary People who win $1 million or more from the lottery can now choose to keep their name, address, and personal information private. If a winner picks this option when they claim their prize, the state will keep their identity confidential. Currently, the names and addresses of lottery winners are not kept secret.1
Read the official explanation
Under current law, lottery player name and address lists are kept confidential unless otherwise ordered by a court, by the lawful custodian of the records, or by another person duly authorized to release such information, but the names and addresses of lottery prize winners are not kept confidential by the department of revenue. This bill provides that the name, address, and personally identifiable information of a lottery prize winner under Code chapter 99G shall be kept similarly confidential if the prize awarded is $1 million or more and the prize winner elects to remain anonymous at the time of claiming the lottery prize.
