The winning ticket was bought in Merrimack
A judge has ruled in favour of a New Hampshire lottery victor who sued the state to keep her identity private.
"We remind players to always play responsibly, regardless of jackpot levels", said Pennsylvania Lottery Executive Director Drew Svitko.
But the judge said he will not block the name of her hometown, which will be released to the public.
He sided with the so-called Jane Doe.
Not much is known about the southern New Hampshire woman, who won the Powerball jackpot in January and asked a judge to let her stay out of the public eye. He cited how a past lottery victor received a bomb threat, how another had received nonstop phone calls and how several others had received requests from strangers who wanted handouts.
But the judge didn't agree that naming the winner's hometown put her in jeopardy of being outed. Following instructions from the New Hampshire Lottery Commission's website, Doe signed the back of her ticket with her name, phone number and address.
The victor will collect a lump sum of about $358 million, before subtracting for taxes, according to the New Hampshire Lottery.

"The Court therefore has no difficulty finding that [the woman] would also be subject to similar solicitation and harassment if her identity were disclosed", Temple wrote.
Winners can be identified only after prizes are claimed and tickets validated.
The public, he wrote, would have "access to the front of the ticket displaying the winning numbers, the date of any claim, the amount of the prize and Ms. Doe's hometown".
Doe had to provide the winning ticket, a photo ID and her Social Security number as proof of her eligibility, and the ticket has been held in a secure location while the parties awaited today's decision.
Identified in court documents as Jane Doe, a woman who bought the winning ticket there won the $559.7 million jackpot and has filed suit to preserve her anonymity.
Just last week, the commission distributed to the winner's attorneys the $264 million sum, which includes taxes that were deducted.
