In Canada, the rules regarding lottery winner anonymity vary by province and territory. While some jurisdictions allow winners to remain anonymous, others require public disclosure for transparency purposes.
In provinces like Quebec and British Columbia, lottery winners can choose to keep their identity private. However, in Ontario, winners of major lottery prizes must have their names and photos published by the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation.
The rationale behind public disclosure is to maintain public trust in the lottery system and demonstrate that real people are winning the prizes. Winners who wish to remain anonymous in provinces that require disclosure often use legal entities like trusts or corporations to claim their prizes.
It\“s important for lottery winners to consult with legal and financial advisors before claiming large prizes to understand their options regarding privacy and asset protection. |
