Yes, you canHow public does OLG make the winner?
If I have a win now can I quietly go on to claim my price later but within the 1 year deadline, and keep it quiet?
You can refuse to have your photo published but OLG publish the names of all winners for prizes $1000 +No you cant, I think when you claim a prize, the OLG has the right to publish your name and photo!
I remember hearing about this. The guy waited until almost a year before claiming, because at the time he was going thru divorce procedures. I say just claim it now and split it, thus saving any hassle down the road.If it's a big win they will make a big deal out of it. There was a guy tried this a couple of years ago for a big jackpot. The courts awarded half of it to his (ex) wife.
I did some googling to find the name of the guy I mentioned. Turns out his name is Raymond Sobeski, he won in 2004, got divorced before claiming his winnings then after a long court dispute, had to pay out in around 2011.If it's a big win they will make a big deal out of it.

I believe that might work in some states, but I think in Canada an actual person can claim it.create a trust and have it claim it.
Can work, but who can you trust. I know someone I could trust with even a 50 million dollar ticket, but I don't think many can. Also they would have to be willing to lie when under investigation about how they got the ticket.get someone u trust to claim it and give them some of it.

Give me the ticket. I'll claim it, and keep 10%. The rest you can have.How public does OLG make the winner?

Don't do this, it's an absolutely horrible idea.Give me the ticket. I'll claim it, and keep 10%. The rest you can have.
Bingo. It is an asset because it has inherent value even though you haven't cashed it, no different than owing anything of a capital nature that's yet unsold.The winning ticket is an asset and owning it during co-habitation means you must firstly disclose it and, secondly, share it unless there is a valid juridical reason to exclude it from sharing.
