Learn about your privacy options and legal requirements if you win the lottery in Kentucky. Understand whether you can remain anonymous and what steps you can take to protect your identity.
Kentucky requires lottery winners to be publicly identified. Your name, city, and prize amount will typically be disclosed as part of public records.
Kentucky's lottery winners can't stay anonymous. That's the baseline rule. You'll need to go public when you win big. However, there's a workaround that many winners use. You can claim your prize through a trust or LLC structure, which keeps your personal name out of the immediate spotlight while still satisfying Kentucky's transparency requirements. The trust or company becomes the official winner instead of you as an individual. This setup matters for privacy and personal safety. Your identity eventually becomes part of public records, but you get breathing room to plan your next moves without immediate harassment or unwanted solicitations flooding your life. Some winners appreciate having that buffer, even if it's temporary. The downside? You're still going to be identified at some point through legal filings and public documentation.
