Requires the state to keep state lottery winners identities anonymous

This bill requires New York State to keep the identities of lottery winners anonymous unless the winner explicitly agrees to share their information. It directly affects state lottery participants by ensuring their names, addresses, and other personal details are not publicly disclosed. The key mechanism involves amending the tax law to prohibit the state lottery division from releasing winner information to the general public without consent. This change aims to protect the privacy of individuals who win prizes over five thousand dollars.
