    Not all states allow you to collect winnings anonymously. I doubt your relatives are actively monitoring lottery winners, but there may be some sleazy, ambulance chasing lawyers that do and would “preemptively” reach out to family and friends to let them know they’re happy to represent them if they “just so happen” to suffer any damages from you.
