I think they should have told the truth. Just tell us you represent the winner. Big deal. Many have formed trusts - we understand that's to protect the identity of the winners. They succeeded in bringing more scrutiny to the win and raising questions about their integrity. Captain Lotto "Every day is a good day!" | | |

Welp, that would answer my question as to why they formed a trust but still showed for the press conference. Can't blame the winner at all for the ruse. | | |

Asset managers accused of fronting for real $254M Powerball winner Otherwise known as "sending in a beard." Looks like these guys and the winner formed their own Jackpot Winner Protectin Program. I say good for them. If you ever win a jackpot are you going to remain anonymous (if possible) or wish that you did? | | |

From the beginning I thought this was a fishy story about the winners, etc.. I found it odd that 3 people would buy just one ticket. Usually people buy a few tickets. With a bit of humor, their total investment would have been 33 1/3 cents apiece. I wonder how they made that 1 penny into thirds?

I think it's smart to keep your identity private. It's also smart to create an entity to manage the money. I don't see a story here - it looks like the lottery officials and the journalist took the low road. | | |

I liked the story when it was about 3 people paying 33.333 cents a piece to split a QP ticket instead. "If you really want something in this life you have to work for it. Now quiet, they're about to announce the lottery numbers." - Homer J. Simpson | | |

Who gives a SH*T about who won or cashed in this fu*king ticket!!!!! Fact: The DA*N ticket has finally been cashed in!! Reality: Move on the the next drawing and move on with your lives. I am so tired of the media making a big hoopla about this fricking ticket!! Be honest, Do you REALLY care about who won? I'm just thrilled that the ticket has been cashed and the jackpot won't be "rolled back into the system". GOOD GRAVY, give it a rest. If anything, start fraudulent claims charges against the knuckleheads that "claimed" to have lost the winning ticket.  Is there so little going on in this pathetic world that the media have to run stories like this? After all, as stated in previous posts, thousands of people have used a hired mouth piece or dummy front to cash in jackpot tickets. Sometimes the American media makes me wonder about how brain damaged they really are. Yeh, who cares but it did prove a point that there something wrong with this story, it wasn't adding up! Good Enough! I will do the same when my ticket come in , but i will give to worthy causes. | | |

He made the wrong assessment because he automatically took the opposite view of mine. I first announced the 3 investment advisers were probably acting as a front and rdgrnr disagreed immediately never wanting to appear to agree with me. | | |
