An $80 million loss is quite valuable...marketably valuable...BIG tax write off. To uncover the lotto angle, dig on the attorneys. They "specialize" in representing lotto winners. You go to the top lawyer with your $80 million dollar winning ticket hoping to cash out and stay anonymous. You are told the law says you must disclose name and town...and that you will get $29 of the $80 cashed out...or...they know this trust that will pay 10% premium for the ticket...you get $32 million and get to stay anonymous...what do you choose...? Do you care that it is a money laundering/tax scam?
