In California, the jackpot winner has one year to claim their prize. For the $2.04B Powerball winner who bought their winning ticket in Altadena, there's about 38 weeks left.
winners are often advised by financial experts to not tell anyone that they've won, only some states allow winners to remain anonymous.
The North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries, which is a nonprofit professional trade association that represents all government-sanctioned lotteries in North America, says players cannot remain anonymous in most participating jurisdictions.Someone in California just made history as the state lottery's first-ever billionaire after matching all five numbers plus the Powerball in Monday night's jackpot drawing that soared to a whopping $2.04 billion.
States that grant anonymity include Arizona, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, and Minnesota, New Jersey, Texas, Virginia, and Wyoming. As an alternative, winners might be able to form a blind trust through their attorney so that winnings can be anonymously received, State Farm advises.
Now if the prize goes unclaimed past the one-year stipulation, participating lotteries will receive their share of the prize’s cash value built by their ticket sales, according to
