Entirely dependent on the lottery, the only one I have heard of this being a thing is the main US one. You can remain completely anonymous in the major European lotteries.

The US and Canada Lotteries publish the winners because it is a public record that they did in fact pay out. The European commisions that don’t publish have to face yearly accusation that they don’t.
