Clay Shannon of Birmingham, Alabama got a "lucky" DVD in the mail this week. It was Netflix's 2 Billionth Delivered DVD and it came with a free lifetime membership to the company. The disc was shipped from the Atlanta distribution center.

Then someone needs to submit a change to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netflix).

The information in that link seems to support the Wikipedia information.

From your link: "SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif., (January 7, 1999) --"
"Founded in 1997, Netflix is headquartered in Scotts Valley, California."

From Wikipedia: "Established in 1997 and headquartered in Los Gatos, California, it has amassed a collection of 100,000 titles and approximately 10 million subscribers."

If I'm not mistaken, 1997 was about two years before 1999. ;)
