#2It’s not like she’s walking away from the prize, she sued to be allowed to claim it and remain anonymous. Which is hardly unreasonable.

It is unreasonable. The lottery has written rules that you are not obliged to accept - but you can't claim the prize if you do not. The lottery is a business and the business depends on having the winner publicized. It's hardly reasonable to want to keep the prize while breaking the rules.

She could have used an anonymous trust if she had thought of it in advance, so the defense the lottery depends on her being identified doesn’t work.

So now that she has major assets ($560 M in potential earnings), lets call her a business. Her business depends on her staying anonymous and collecting these earnings. It's hardly reasonable to deny the business that owns a $560M lottery ticket their money.
See what I did there?

I think the lottery is doing just fine, and I'd bet most lottery players don't know the names of any lottery winners.

I don't think the rules of the lottery allow this, so no.

She has no assets because she didn't fulfill the requirements and rules of the competition. This is like supplying no work but demanding a payment anyways.

Many people wouldn't trust a lottery in which no one has ever provably won.

After sitting on it for a while, yea. I've changed my mind. You're right.
