I agree!  I would feel violated if I were that woman. 

"I've always wondered if these security camera clocks were synched to the lottery machine clocks?"

Probably not but a lottery terminal printout would show at what time that ticket was bought and they checked the security tapes to see who bought tickets around that time. I doubt the security tape will be shown even if the winner decides to go the Bunky Bartlett route.

There are many reasons why a lottery winner would wait to claim it but there is also the chance that person doesn't know they are holding winning ticket. The store owner may have viewed the tape for that reason or maybe he was just curious, but either way it's still his tape. Since the article doesn't say the tape was released to the public and there is no reason to assume it will be.

The winner was Mrs. Taylor. I hope Mrs. Taylor claims the prize to step forward to take cash option and not have financial problems later in life. There were 24 straight rolls without a jackpot winner on this run. The previous record number of rolls is 23 in 2006.

The winner happens to be my great aunt. She did not even knew she won until she saw the security tape on television. She is currently working with an attorney and financial planner. She will be coming forward either this week or the first part of next week. She will take the lump sum as she is a little older than the reported Thirty years old. Any more information you want, well ask...might just give it to ya!!!
