Why do I need to agree to release personal information in order to view the winning lottery numbers?

In the pase I was able to view the latest lottery numbers by ckicking on "Lottery" on My Yahoo page. Now I am asked to give permission to release my personal information before I can view the latest lottery winning numbers. Before I give permission to release my information I would like to know exactly what information is being released and who will be receiving the information. I would like for someone to provide this information.

Thanks.Why do I need to agree to release personal information in order to view the winning lottery numbers?It's Yahoo federating with other websites. Before linking you to an affiliated site, they want your permission to share your information with the other site. I don't do it cause Yahoo tends to share all the information and it's just as easy to navigate to another site yourself although you may have to establish another log in on the other site. It's a big problem as to how to share a login identity without losing control of personal information.Why do I need to agree to release personal information in order to view the winning lottery numbers?You know most lotteries have their own website run by the lottery organizers. This URL is usually printed on the ticket itself. Just Google the name of the lottery and I'm sure you'll find their official site.



I've never seen one of these sites require personal information.
