This woman has no idea of the lawsuits that are about to be filed to claim all or half of that prize. The man who she pressed to buy the last ticket will probably want a cut. No telling how many folks will claim to have dropped that $10 bill which purchased the winning ticket. Can store employees even legally claim a lotto prize?

If I'd have taken a lump sum, I'd be broke again within five years," she said.

Sad, but most likely true with 9 credit cards already maxed out. It never ceases to amaze me how people can go through money like that.

"and $8,500 in debt for her associate's degree"

To work at a gas station?

These state run SCAMS are a tax on the poor. While I am happy for this woman it will do nothing but get others like her to throw their money away at the false notion that they, too, will win.

“no idea of the lawsuits that are about to be filed to claim all or half of that prize.”............The $10.00 bill is back in circulation by now. How is anyone going to prove it was their $10? It won’t be worth the trouble. $1M isn’t what it was 50 years ago. Not only that, the IRS has a large portion of it before she gets to spend the first dollar.

Oh, my gosh, I hope she doesn’t get hit with law suits. She should have shut her trap and took the money and left town.

Yes. No conflict of interest here since she doesn’t work for the state.

Happens all the time.

...with nine maxed-out credit cards and $8,500 in debt for her associate's degree...

Where did she get the associate's degree from? Harvard?

I read of a case where there was a contest with Pepsi, I think it was, where you could win a million dollars if you had the winning number under the label or some such. Anyhow, a restuarant employee sold a customer a Pepsi. The customer drank it and threw the empty container in the trash and left. The employee got it out of the trash and looked under the label and won the million. The customer sued her claiming it was her purchase that won the money. The court ruled in favor of the employee.

Oh nonsense, if someone can prove it was their $10 bill, she can give ‘em their $10 back.

nine maxed out credit cards and 8500 in debt, my guess is that with money managing skils like this, she’d be worse off than before in a a rather short time.
