Florida's $800M Mega Millions Winner: Will Anonymity Hold?

The $800 million Mega Millions prize ticket sold at a Lakewood Ranch-area Wawa in Florida remains unclaimed. Florida law allows lottery winners of $250,000+ to keep their identity confidential for 90 days after claiming; if the prize is taken as a lump-sum, it must be claimed within 60 days (180 days otherwise). Whether the winner’s name is publicly revealed may depend on how the Florida Lottery handles high-dollar prizes, as prior big wins have been identified by LLCs (e.g., Saltines Holdings LLC) rather than individuals, potentially leaving anonymity intact even after a claim.
