If someone wins the jackpot in tonight’s Mega Millions, there is a possibility that person's identity will never be known.
Laws in 18 states allow lottery winners to collect prizes anonymously, meaning that we may never know who wins the over $1.35 billion dollar jackpot.
In 2022 the winners of an equally large jackpot in Illinois remained anonymous under state law, with the Illinois Lottery describing them as, “two individuals, who agreed to split the prize if won – and they stayed true to that word," in a press release.
Here are the places where winners can anonymously claim lottery prizes and the requirements for them.

Tickets to Mega Millions cost $2 per play.
There are nine total ways to win a prize, from the jackpot to $2.
To play, pick five numbers from 1 to 70 and one Mega Ball number from 1 to 25. You can choose Easy Pick or Quick Pick to have the terminal randomly pick numbers for you. You win the jackpot by matching all six winning numbers in the drawing.
Most states offer the Megaplier feature, which increases non-jackpot prizes by two, three, four and five times.
It costs an additional $1 per play. Before each regular Mega Millions drawing, the Megaplier is drawn. From a pool of 15 balls, five are marked with "2X," three with "4X" and one with "5X."
