I notice that they publish pictures even of small winners. Winning $ 999 might not be much, but enough to attract local burglars and robbers living in the winners neighborhood.

People are being killed for a $ 10 dollar bill these days.

Pamelab,

Now Reidsville can be known for something other than having a Clean Harbors hazardous waste facility in town...

This is my hometown! It really feels strange viewing the big town of Reidsville on my favorite web site. I can't wait for Pick 3. I am getting all the bugs out of my excel worksheets.

I would love to know how to apply for the Address Confidentiality Program, my situation qualifies.

Good evening! What I meant by I hope people leave him alone is that all this hype is making it seem as if he is suddenly very wealthy. First the cashier wants a piece and probably every neighbor and relative will be asking for money. I understand that anonymity is not an option. In FL it isn't either, but if someone makes a special request, why can't they simply list the information in the Public Records instead of publishing articles and pictures? I read press releases all the time to see... [ More ]

Indeed......

Yes, we have to work hard to protect our identity nowadays, but here is a case where it can be plastered onto the web/papers/TV for everyone to see.

NC doesn't allow anonimity unless you've got a court order or are part of an Address Confidentiality Program (often used for those who have been stalked, sexually assaulted or been on the receiving end of domestic violence).

I think it's a shame NC isn't giving anonimity to anyone who requests it. The only real entities that need to know who a winner is are the IRS and state government. People deserve the right to have their information protected, especially in cases where they will be rece... [ More ]

I agree JXP.... it appears that NC is so desperate to attract attention and sell more tickets that they completely ignored his request .

Then again, maybe it is part of the law or agreement that one cannot request anonimity...

When asked whether or not she would get any of the prize, Gauldin said He said he'd be back to tip me.

For what?

Gauldin said if Mebane had not bought that ticket, she was planning on buying it after her shift ended at 10 p.m.

Puhleeze!!! That very ticket that was probably there the night before. Right.

He didn't win a fortune, maybe just enough to pay his bills, buy a new car and put some money away for retirement. Hope people leave him alone and let him enjoy it.... [ More ]

That's a nice chunk of change to win. Congrats to him.

Mebane, who lives south of Reidsville, told lottery officials not to release the photo of him receiving the ceremonial check after turning in his winning scratch-off ticket Tuesday morning. A visit to his house during the afternoon resulted in nobody opening the door.

Solid attempt to evade some publicity but the state released his picture with the big check anyway:

So they don't respect your wishes in either case.

Well, Mr. Mebane has some money now. I hope he spends it wisely.

Dennis Mebane won $100,000 in the N.C. Lottery, but chances are you're not going to find him if you want to look up your long-lost and now deep-pocketed buddy.
