Awesome story about a smart lady - congrats!
I wonder if that's a wig... I can't tell from this angle....if it were a frontal view I could tell better. She may have extensions...lol...for added fullness.
Now I feel like she's an LP FAMILY MEMBER if she's not a member she is indeed the spouse of a member. She has exhibited some strong LP family member traits ya'll.
NOW THAT'S APPLYING WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED!!!!!
  
Steve Martin, Bilko
All I've ever wanted was an honest week's pay for an honest day's work. 
You've gotta be in it..... to win it!! ♣

Much more responsible than those others who recently claimed winnings within days of winning. Hats off to people who use their heads!  I think i'd go into hiding and form my dream team.

but it could be a guy in drag ......that would really throw everyone off Lmao!!!! very funny and i thought the same thing.
I can honestly say that I would have taken the same approach they have taken. I am so glad to see someone finally take time and get all ducks in a row b4 takin a dive into the "money ocean".
I was thinkin about driving up to Illinois to play my Mega Millions numbers but decided against it after learning that you have to do the press conference. So I went to Ohio instead. I have been waiting to see how this person would be treated and how the media would pick up on the story and its been reletivley low key. i think I will be going back to Illinois. i need a state that has more than 10 advance draws....lol I would go to Michigan but thats an 8hr drive from here and that would turn into a weekend type ordeal and I just wanna go, get the tkt, come back home. I'm very happy for the winners though
congrats........  waiting patiently for my jackpot

Were they really that smart?
$80,000,000 minus 25 per cent for Tax=$60,000,000
Invested at 3 per cent yields: $1,800,000 per year!
So waiting 3 months to claim the prize money cost: $450,000 A mind once stretched by a new idea never returns to its original dimensions!

Sorry Im not taking 3 months to claim my money. Im so poor I could use that NOW. If I ever won Id be at the headquarters the next day. If you dont know how to manage money like that on your own, you dont deserve it IMO.
