Detailed disclosure rules
Idaho does not allow lottery winners to remain anonymous. Winner information, including full name, city of residence, prize amount, and game, is public record and subject to disclosure under state law. No opt-out or privacy request is available. Claiming through a trust or LLC is permitted, but personal identity remains public record (entity name may appear, but does not shield individual). Consult an attorney for asset protection options.
