	&lt;div class=&quot;field-item&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Unless a federal judge says otherwise, former state lottery commissioner Kevin Geddings will report to prison by July 2, according to court papers filed this week.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Geddings, formerly of Charlotte, has been assigned to FCI Jesup, a &lt;strong&gt;minimum&lt;/strong&gt;-security facility in southeast Georgia, reports David Ingram of The Charlotte Observer. That&amp;#39;s about 2 1/2 hours from where he and his family now live in St. Augustine, Fla.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The former Democratic campaign consultant is asking to remain at home on bond while he appeals his conviction and sentence. Last month, a federal judge in Raleigh sentenced him to four years in prison for committing fraud when he failed to report thousands in payments from lottery companies on his state ethics form.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is not clear when a judge might rule on that request.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Correction:&lt;/strong&gt; An earlier version of this post misstated the security level. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
