The best option is to have bought the winning ticket in one of the few states that let the winner remain anonymous.
I.e. at most the winner is only identified as "insert generic trust name here"
And don't forget to relocate and establish residency in a state that doesn't tax lottery winnings BEFORE claiming the prize.
IIRC, one has 6 months to claim PB/MM, so even if the winner works for a 3rd party they'd have time to transition out of that job w/o raising suspicions.
"I have this wonderful opportunity in...ummm...Vegas, yeah, that's the ticket!"

Some states give you only 90 days to claim the prize, so I'd be damned sure I knew the true length of time, or UH OH.
