That's why I spend the 5 minutes it takes to cross the Potomac. Maryland's one of the few states that let you claim anonymously without jumping through a lot of hoops. On the other hand, Virginia won't even let you claim as a trust or corporation. You have to claim as an individual, and that kind of attention I don't want.Honestly, read about what happens to people who suddenly end up with a ton of money and how it affects their lives. My husband had already said that if we somehow won the lottery, he wouldn't even consider claiming it until he could get a trust to claim it anonymously. It's pretty well documented. Even not having a lot of money, just being famous is enough to fuck you up pretty good in this digital age. I was listening to Felicia Day's autobiography while driving cross country, and the amount of depression and anxiety she went through (and she's my age!) made me sad. Also just reminded me how full of assholes 4Chan is. [emoji14]
Not that I'm going to ever win, mind you.
