In most states, the biggest issue is still the one of anonymity.
I wonder if there’s a way around that by selling/auctioning off your winning ticket to somebody who’s already famous and, say, a billionaire at a discount.

The woman in question had already signed the ticket in her own name before setting up the trust.
Most states don’t allow trusts to claim a ticket at all.
Would be rather tough to find a trustworthy buyer, would need strong contracts, and some means of enforcing collection since if you need to go to court you're not anonymous anymore and there's no possibility of using escrow.
Not in principle impossible since a lottery ticket is a bearer instrument.
