End State Laws That Require Public Appearances By Lottery Winners.

Stop forcing lottery players to appear in public in order to claim their prize.

Why is this important?

It should be the lottery winner's right to chose whether they want to claim their winnings in a public event or not. If a state is not going to allow a winner anonymity, then the winner should be able to chose when and where they claim the winnings. There is a big difference between releasing information and mandating a public appearance with photographs.
