Winner to be named

NEW Hampshire’s lottery commission will ask a court to dismiss a complaint from a Powerball winner asking for anonymity, arguing that releasing the person’s name and address is required by law, helps ensures transparency and doesn’t put the person’s safety at risk.

The woman who won the $559.7 million jackpot, identified in court documents as Jane Doe, filed a complaint asking that a judge allow her to stay anonymous.

Under New Hampshire law, a lottery winner’s name, town and prize amount are public information.
