While "no" is the standard answer, there have been at least two cases where someone has been able to claim a large lottery prize in Indiana anonymously. In Feb 2012, an "elderly woman" claimed a $34.5M Hoosier Lotto prize (actually the $15.9M cash value) via a corporation, HLT (Hoosier Lottery Ticket) LLC, that was set up through Indianapolis attorney Geffrey D. Rainbolt. In 2006, someone claimed a $6.5M Hoosier Lotto prize (actually the $3.2M cash option amount) through the Boulon Revocable Trust. One would think that if the state has allowed some winners to avoid the spotlight, that anyone with enough smarts to do likewise would have to be permited to do so (and they'd be a fool not to avail themselves of the opportunity). One can only hope that future winners might be able to dispense with all the legal work and simply be allowed to enjoy their winnings in anonymity as they ought.
