The man was also able to persuade lottery officials not to release his name, although it is a public record under Oregon law. "In this case, I made the decision based on talking to the guy," said Roberts. "I do believe that there is a personal safety risk to him and his family ... I would hope that people would respect the reasons for not giving the name. It's not going to mean anything to them, but it could to someone halfway around the world." [/QUOTE]
