You can do that too, in the USA right?
Only in certain states (not the entire US, Keith). Lucky for the 1.6 billion Mega Millions winner from yesterday, South Carolina is one of those states.
If I won, I'd sign that ticket right away, make a photocopy privately, and get all my legal advisers in a row while I waited for the media frenzy to die down a bit (you have something like 6 months to claim the prize). Then I'd have someone pack up my house and sell it, while buying a new one somewhere I wasn't known, and put it in an LLC so no one could ever look up where I live. Hire security...man, it'd be a hassle. Lol.
