The woman that claimed she was cheated out of last week's lottery drawing admitted today she made it all up.


Have you all heard about this?  I never doubted she was lying from the very beginning. ::)

That's so pathetic. Brings back bad memories of Donna Miller and her claims of being a missing child. Elecia Battle needs psychological help. :(

Hmmm... so she was lying after all.  >:(  When I first heard about it, I didn't have an opinion until yesterday when the real winner produced a time stamped receipt from the store it was purchased from.  That clinched it for me.

Notice, though, that the accuser apologizes, yet does not admit she lied.  This is a real nasty symptom in today's society.  :(

($168 Million clams!!   :o can you imagine?  I can't!)

Anything for their 15 minutes of fame. Personally, when I first heard about this, I figured that she was lying. But lying or not, I think that you have to HAVE the ticket in hand to claim. If you did purchased the winning ticket and you lost it-well, too bad. You have to chalk it up to "the one that got away." As the old saying goes, "No ticky-no shirty" or this case "no-dough"

So she lied. In other news, grass is green. ::) ;D

When I saw on the news that she lied, I thought "What a surprise" NOT..... ::)

I think her lawyer gives all the rest a bad name. I saw him vehemently defend her in the newsclips and he said something about seeing it through, she has a good case here.etc.. THE WEASLE probably didn't even investigate the winners claim that she had proof and other tickets she previously bet with the same numbers....That lawyer just jumped on the case wanting his 33%!!!
He should be laughed out of the business!!!

jd  

Its not just a lie!She made up a scam!Wasting time making a phony police report and wasting taxpayers money for her own greed!She will be doing time for the phony police report!

...Another story from the life and times of LyricBoy...

Back in my hometown in 1982, somebody won what was then the largest lotto jackpot ever in the United States, a whopping $5.5 million.  But he did not come forward to claim the prize.

After a couple of months, a gentleman by the name of Lewis Bedillion came forward and said that he had the winning ticket and would present it the next day.  The next day came, but he then said that someone had broken into his house via the back window and stolen the ticket.  Funny, the local cops did not believe him, because there was a heavy coating of dust on his window sill, and no footprints in the soil just outside the window.  Lewie went to jail for that caper.  :P

(Trivia point:  Mr. Bedillion was invited to be a guest on F. Lee Bailey's "Lie Detector" TV show to vindicate himself, but at the last minute declined)

Anyway, on the very last possible day that the prize could be claimed, an 82-year-old man, Mr. Pascal Cervi, came forward to claim the prize.  When asked why he waited so long, he said "I did not want to ruin my Christmas holiday with all the hubbub".  Then, when Lewie had claimed to have the real ticket, apparantly Mr. Cervi had second thoughts.  The money never changed Patsy a bit.  He drove the same beater Ford Station Wagon to church every week.

My Mom actually knows three different mega-dollar lotto winners.  Sadly, I am not one of them.  :'(
