Claiming through a trust or LLC
Not allowedMinnesota requires lottery prizes to be claimed by the individual winner. Trusts or LLCs cannot be used to claim anonymously, although attorneys or financial advisors may assist with the claim process.
Detailed disclosure rules
Minnesota allows anonymity for prizes over $10,000, classifying winner names and cities as private data unless you opt into publicity. However, you must claim as an individual; trusts or LLCs are not permitted, though an attorney can handle logistics. The state's policy generally provides strong privacy.
