How 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?

No you cant, I think when you claim a prize, the OLG has the right to publish your name and photo!

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 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.

I remember there was this one guy who won a big prize and he literally waited till there was a few days before his claim would expiry.

During that time, he did his due diligence and left to a country with no extradition laws. Forget his name, does anyone remember?

One way to get around having your name in the paper is if the prize is significant enough, create a trust and have it claim it.

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.

I would have stayed overseas somewhere.

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.

I believe that might work in some states, but I think in Canada an actual person can claim it.

get someone u trust to claim it and give them some of 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 them to sign something your lawyer draws up just in case.

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.

If you PURCHASED the winning lottery ticket AFTER the date of separation (make sure that date is solid), then too bad for her.
