This story made me so sad. As a lottery player, I just think about how excited he probably was to win. My prayers go out to his family. Bless you Mr. Neal.

So sad my condolences to the family.The main reason to remain anonymous,in some states you must show up in person,but you can come incognito.A guy somewhere can,t remember where,came in a bear costume to pick up the check.

Anybody know what prize he won? If it was a Michigan only game he could of claimed anonymously. You have to keep hush hush about winning any amount of money nowadays......sad.

The President should issue an executive requiring lotteries to offer anonymity to all winners.

Especially in a place like Detroit, MI

Family should have never let him go anywhere alone after the win.

He just may have told one person, the wrong person, and that caused the beginning of his end.

$20K is a lot of money to a junkie, or any number of other desperados.

Very sad indeed.

RIP

I think the lottery should only bring to light the questionable winners, that may need investigation or something.

It is just too dangerous to tell the world that so and so won milli... [ More ]

That's why I think states should have the winners remain anonymous.

This is very sad but it is also a lesson not to share this kind of information. Keep it to yourself.

Stabbed to death over 20K. Imagine the potential dangers to you if you win tonight's $317 million PB annuity. Stay safe everyone and try to be aware of your surroundings.
