+12 Newbie to Lottery: Anonymity & Tax Questions

I'm new to playing the lottery and I have some questions regarding anonymity and taxes. I'm a Nevada resident, and since Nevada doesn't have a lottery, I travel to Arizona (it's about an hour's drive) to purchase tickets when the jackpot reaches $500 million and up.

If I were to win the jackpot with a ticket purchased in Arizona, would I be able to claim the prize anonymously? I know Arizona allows anonymous lottery claims, but I'm not sure if there are any exceptions or additional considerations as a Nevada resident.

What are the tax implications for a Nevada resident winning the lottery in Arizona? I've heard that Arizona taxes lottery winnings, but I'm not sure how that affects me as a Nevada resident.

Thx for the answers <3
