A judge ruled the name of the $559 million Powerball winner from New Hampshire does not have to be revealed.

A woman only known as “Jane Doe” purchased the winning Powerball ticket on Jan. 6. She soon regretted signing the ticket under her own name instead of finding out how to set up a trust and collect the winnings anonymously, NTD reported.
