I'm not looking to actually find anyone or contact winners or anything like that. In Washington state, you can't remain anonymous, but if I look up winner's names, it only says people's first name and last initial, but if you win you should protect your identity from being found out to protect your money and yourself. So I'm just curious, if I won the lottery, how would someone actually find me when that information doesn't seem to actually be readily available online? Would someone need to actually request the information and if so, from who? How long would it take to find something like that out? Would anyone be able to find it or would they have to have some amount of knowledge about the winner to figure it out?
