  Lottery's Frequently Asked Questions
Do I Have to Release My Name to the Public?
 
Answer:

In 1988, the Michigan Legislature enacted Public Act 243 which gives winners of prizes greater than $10,000 the right to remain anonymous.  However, Mega Millions and Powerball winners are exempt from this act.  The names and cities of residence for all Michigan Lottery Mega Millions and Powerball winners (including the jackpot) are considered public record.
