Lottery winners can keep names private

The law keeps your identity private if you win a Maine lottery prize of $100,000 or more. If you are in the Address Confidentiality Program, your identity stays private for any prize amount. The lottery can share your name only with another state agency for reasons allowed by law, and that agency cannot share it further. This confidential information is not a public record and cannot be released through public records requests. You can choose to allow disclosure by signing a written release.
