More details to this question:
I know that some states allow anonymity while others do not. For instance, if I won the powerball in New Jersey, could I claim my prize anonymously in Delaware (or a state the may offer anonymity)?

You could create layers between you and the winnings in New Jersey by creating a trust, and allowing the trust to collect the winnings. There are ways to keep your identity secret, or at least hidden behind a legal entity such as a trust.
