Learn about your privacy options and legal requirements if you win the lottery in South Carolina. Understand whether you can remain anonymous and what steps you can take to protect your identity.
South Carolina allows lottery winners to remain anonymous. Your name and personal information will not be publicly disclosed by the lottery.
South Carolina lets winners stay anonymous. That's a big deal. You can claim your prize without revealing your identity to the public, which shields you from unwanted attention and solicitation. Here's the catch though. You can't use a trust or LLC to claim on your behalf. The lottery requires the actual winner to come forward personally, even if you'd prefer privacy. This rule exists to prevent fraud and ensure accountability. The anonymity protection covers your name, city, and other identifying details in public records. Media outlets and the general public won't know who you are. Still, lottery officials and tax authorities will have your information for legal and financial purposes, which is unavoidable. Winners should understand this carefully. You get privacy from the public eye, but not from government oversight. It's a reasonable middle ground between protection and transparency.
