No. Winner's full name, retailer name/location, win date, and prize amount (including gross/net installments) are public records subject to disclosure. No anonymity available.
California generally requires lottery winners to be publicly identified. Your name, city, and prize amount may be disclosed as part of public records or lottery announcements.
California provides no winner anonymity. Public records include full name, retailer name and location, win date, and prize amount (including gross and net installment payments). Other personal or identifying information is not disclosed without permission unless legally required. Trusts or LLCs are not supported for private claiming; claims require the individual winner's legal name, signature, and identification details.
Prizes of $599 or less can be claimed at a participating retailer, at a District Office, or by mail. Prizes of $600 or more can be claimed by mail or at a District Office with a completed claim form (same-day check processing is possible for prizes of $600–$1,000 at District Offices with valid photo ID until 4:30 p.m.). Draw-game prizes (except Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots) must be postmarked or received within 180 days of the winning draw date.

Gather the signed ticket, identification, and any claim form or tax information required for the prize amount.
Most prizes must be claimed within 180 days. Once that deadline passes, the ticket is no longer valid for payment.
If a valid claim is not made within the applicable claim period, unclaimed prize money is treated under California law as lottery revenue rather than being paid to the winner.
Federal withholding usually starts at 24% on larger prizes, and California applies 0.00% state tax where required. Use this section to understand what gets withheld, how payout choice affects taxes, and when to use the calculator for a personalized estimate.
The IRS generally withholds 24% on prizes above $5,000. California also applies a 0.00% state rate where required.
Withholding is only an initial payment toward your eventual tax liability. Your total income, filing situation, and local rules can all push the real outcome higher or lower.
When you want a personalized estimate, use the calculator to compare lump sum and annuity outcomes with federal, state, and local tax detail where applicable.
