It is up to the state paying the lottery funds. Since they like to show winners to draw more people in, I would doubt that they would hide your name.

That depends on the rules and regulations of the company or state which is running the lottery. If there are no rules against anonymity, then the beneficiary could remain anonymous.

It depends on the state you are in. If you have won, it will be worth it to hire an attorney and accountant to figure it all out.

It depends on the rules of the particular state. Some states allow you to remain anonymous and some won't.

Why don't you ask the lottery people for the rules of the game. You need rules for all games don't you? Otherwise how can you play?

Definitely not. It's part of the deal: the lottery people want to promote winners so that more people will buy tickets.

You need to check the probate rules in your county and state.
