Frequently Asked Questions - Wisconsin Lottery
Can a winner remain anonymous?
- No. Wisconsin has an “open records law.”
- Most information that state government produces or controls is available to any organization or person requesting it. Only information “in the public’s interest” may be released by a government agency.
- The lottery, upon request, must release the name and city of the winner. Any other information about the winner will be released only with the winner’s consent. Likewise, it is the winner's choice if they would like to speak to the media.
