No, because this information is considered direct PII and should be kept private.

Explanation: Full name and home address are sensitive personal identifiers. Sharing them with a stranger in-game risks identity theft, stalking, scams, or unwanted contact. If it’s a legitimate prize, ask for verification through the game’s official support/contest channel or have the sender use the game platform’s trusted delivery methods rather than giving personal information.
