The law saying the winner does not have to give up the winner's name has been on the books in Georgia for only six months.
“I love that law because you have people coming out of the woodwork when you win. Sometime you don't want everybody to know you won,” a Mega Millions player told WSB-TV.
On Friday, lottery officials announced the jackpot jumped to $1 billion.
Since May 7, 74 people have won more than $250,000 in Georgia, and every single one of them has signed a paper to remain anonymous.
