The identity of the lucky person who won the whopping $847 million Powerball jackpot in New Jersey may never be revealed, due to the state’s privacy laws. A 2020 Garden State law allows lottery winners to remain anonymous indefinitely — unlike most states that require lotto players to come forward publicly. The measure was enacted to shield winners from extortion, harassment and pressure to dole out their newly found funds.
