N.C. woman claims $66M Powerball jackpotReply
I went to the SC website and read this very story. There is a lawyer who is handling the winner's affairs.

Can You Remain a Virtual Unknown?
How about those of us who want to just-be-alone when we win the big one! Now, I am not talking about $1 million or $ 5 million dollars -- but the big jackpots: save $50 million or more.The newspapers, television, and the radio just cannot get enough of blasting your name and your town (depending upon where you live) to the public.
