If the McDonald’s manager gave her $5 and told her to buy more tickets, I’d say the manager has a legitimate beef but not the others.

This woman has 7 kids. I’d bet there’s a least one man out there who’s still legally married to her.

I knew a woman who won the lottery. Seven years earlier her husband had filed for a divorce but she wouldn’t sign the papers. It went into limbo and they were still legally married all this time. He wanted his half. She refused to cash the ticket until they could finalize the divorce. The court had the head of the lottery commission testify that it was a “win” as soon as the sixth number was drawn. The court then ordered her to cash the ticket and give her “husband” his half.

Even more funny, her boyfriend tried to claim he gave her the dollar she used to buy the ticket. The court refused to hear his case.

Hell, McDonalds doesn't even have legitimate beef.

That may have been the testimony but it's not exactly true. It's only a winner after the ticket itself has been verified, and after it's been established that the claimant has complied with lottery rules. Ask the smarmy New York lawyer who tried to claim the Hot Lotto jackpot in Iowa!
