Feb. 17 (UPI) -- A New Hampshire judge on Friday ruled that money from a $559.7 million Powerball jackpot can go into a temporary trust but a ruling was not yet made on whether the winner's name will be disclosed.
"Jane Doe," a woman who purchased the winning lottery ticket last month in Merrimack, N.H., wishes to keep her identity a secret. Her attorney, Steven Gordon, has asked for the money to be moved while waiting for a decision about her anonymity because she is losing an estimated $14,000 in interest each day.
