Ways to stay anonymous:

1. Don't cash the ticket.  Instead, frame it with one of the numbers obscured, and hang it in your office. 
2. Give it to someone you can trust, like me to cash in.

Nope. Whoever finds out about that takes it to the grave. It's called UPS Express.

Let's not go there.

But anyway if this story about the winner in Staten Island is true how can you not believe. I have a question, if you buy 10 games and you win on the 7th game, if you only bought one ticket you would not have one..... Any logical terutzim?

If two frum people win consecutive huge lotteries a lot of Jew hating will ensue.

Is it confirmed that the MM was a Jew?

Besides you just added one of the many points as to why one should opt in to this pool.

No, that if you wish to remain anonymous buy a ticket in an anonymous state. This way nobody will know of another Jew won ;)

+1. I always make sure to only win the lottery in the anonymous states. That's why none of you have ever heard of me. Don't want to be misgareh ba'umos, ch'v.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Mathematically your odds are ten times better if you have ten tickets. 1/29M vs 1/290M.
Your math is incorrect

Well guess what happens if he buys all 290m tickets?

This isn't dice rolling, he knows his tickets will not be repeated.

Still sounds wrong. 10 tickets is 10 more chances to win. That's all. Not multiplied.
