Idaho Senate junks lottery-winner secrecy bill

Big lottery winners in Idaho may have to lay low and stay put in their hiding spot for the time being.

This as the Idaho Senate has rejected a measure seeking to protect lottery winners by keeping their identities secret.

KM-TV ABC6 reported that eight of the nine members of the Senate panel voted to throw out the measure of Republican Rep. Lynn Luker, of Boise, which aims to exempt lottery winners’ information from public records.

An Idaho Senate panel has killed legislation that would have allowed lottery winners to hide their identities.
