Well, it shows personal and non-public information of this lottery winner. The Morning Sentinel in Maine published a photo in print and online that clearly revealed the winner's address and Social Security number. The Lottery Post had a full discussion of the case and linked to the picture file. That's the image that's reproduced above. In print, it was more legible. One Sentinel reader wrote: "What has he won? Because of the lack of editing he has won a lifetime of grief. Within seconds of glancing at this picture, I noticed the form in the picture includes the man's name, address, telephone number, date of birth and even his Social Security number." The editor has apologized and offered to hire someone to go over the man's credit reports.
