north dakota and ohio. it s actually interesting. a lot of state legislatures are sort of considering new laws around whether or not they re going to allow you to remain anonymous. for example in georgia, there s an interesting law that they re debating whether or not they will allow you to remain anonymous if you promise to donate 25% of your winnings back to scholarships and good causes. so that s interesting. but you know, jose, the truth is the lottery really likes the publicity. they say it s because it helps with transparency and trust in the system. but the truth is, it s great marketing. i mean, i guess you could. and i think that here in florida, there s a case once, you could actually apparently if you have to show your face, you can cover it up. i mean, you could buy, like, you know, a silk embroidered with gold pashmina thing and put it over your face. sure. or you could buy a mask. or you could buy a mask. so there are a few states where they actually have specific rul
