While the government is required to divulge the names of the persons who win lottery prizes, there is no requirement for the winner to stand up in front of a news conference and answer the press' dumb questions. I feel sorry for those people who support lottery officials' news conferences and give them free publicity - they probably don't know they can refuse.
