JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – State Rep. Jay Mosley has taken an important step to protect lottery winners from unwanted attention. His legislation (HB 402) was given overwhelming bipartisan approval by the General Assembly and is now on its way to the governor’s desk to be signed into law.
Mosley sponsored the bill to provide an added level of safety for individuals who win lottery prizes in Missouri. The current practice is for prize winners to have their names posted to the lottery website to announce their winnings. Mosley’s bill will change state law to prohibit the lottery from publishing the name, address, or identifying information of a lottery winner in printed or electronic form. The bill does allow a winner to sign a form allowing the Lottery to disclose his or her identifying information.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) The identity of Missouri Lottery winners could be kept secret under legislation sent to Gov. Mike Parson that would reverse the state s current policy of publicizing winners. The bill, which received final approval Wednesday in the Senate, would make it a misdemeanor crime for the lottery or its contractors to publicize the identity of lottery winners, unless the winners ask for their names to be made known. The bill previously passed the House.
Sponsoring Rep. Jay Mosley said his intent is to protect lottery winners from being harassed or threatened by others who hear or read about their success.

“I think education (school choice legislation), tax policy, motor fuel tax, and again I would anticipate that we will spend several long nights and when we break, people (state senators and staff) will probably be exhausted and ready for a break,” Schatz tells KTUI.
