NC Cash 5Reply
I got my QPs on Saturday at a Circle K but in Charlotte The wheel I used was 53226-1 I had 4 numbers in the wheel, I missed 41.

$360 MILLION: Powerball jackpot raised on huge salesReply
Actually if you live in a state that allows you to remain anonymous it isn't really as discreet as it sounds. The media recently got the name of an anonymous winner through the freedom of information act and disclosed it to the public. That is why having an attorney claim your prize under a trust that can be hidden under several other trust is so important.
