I wish our wonderful country hadn't looked to lotteries to raise money. It's a disgusting way to run a country.

It's her personal life. It depends on what the definition of "bought" is. Let's move on.

Well, knock me over with a feather. It's simply hard to believe that anyone would compromise their public integrity for a lousy $162 million.

Battle had filed a police report saying she lost the ticket

I can only presume she will be charged for filing a false police report.

Where are the people that were too stupid to see her for what she was and were calling the real winner all kinds of filth. I want them to come back here and grovel before us.

``I'm not a bad person, I'm really not,'' she said. ``Everyone has a past.''

And some people keep repeating theirs.

I blame the blood-sucking lawyer that did not thoroughly check out her claim.

It's bums like that that give lawyers a bad name!

hehe

Im not poor. Either was Mrs Jemison who is the real winner. Mrs Battle is just a petty criminal who will now add a new mug shot to her collection.

Heh heh heh the skank finally admitted it, the pressure of the interview the other night and the reporter refuting her claims must have been too much.

I love it.
