Judge rules $560M Powerball winner can remain anonymous [View all]

March 12 (UPI) -- A New Hampshire judged ruled Monday that the winner of a $559.7 million Powerball jackpot prize can remain anonymous.

Judge Charles Temple ruled that disclosing the woman's name would be an invasion of privacy and allowed her to be exempt from a state law which requires the release of a winner's name and hometown.

Temple allowed the woman to maintain her anonymity through the monicker "Jane Doe" but ruled that the woman's hometown can still be made public by the New Hampshire Lottery Commission.
