Is it possible to avoid taxes on lottery winnings by collecting them through a blind trust?
I’ve heard that there is a way to avoid taxes when collecting lottery winnings. However, I haven’t been able to find any concrete information regarding the tax legislation behind the method. Allegedly, if you have a blind trust fund collect the winnings it is possible to avoid taxes. Is this true? What are the exact procedures and related laws. Thanks.
