      <description><![CDATA[Cash, you're right.  IL is like FL.  I won't complain if I win a jackpot, but I think 90 days would be better. The IRS also has a rule about collecting money, but I think the decision has to be made within 60 days of the claim, not the draw. A previous article said the winner was seeking financial advice before they announced her name, so whatever she does, she's at least gotten professional counseling.<br /><br />Coin Toss, I'm not saying it's a good or bad financial decision, but many people with chil...

      <description><![CDATA[Maybe her 84-year-old father will talk her into choosing lump sum. AFAIK Illinois is like Florida in that the 60-day clock starts with the DRAWING. I don't know if the 60-day period has changed since we now know who she is.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Good to hear someone will be having a nice Thanksgiving and Christmas<br /><br />what I didnt understand is how the article referenced that the winning ticket<br /><br />was a quick pick but later stated that the woman plays weekly and uses the same<br /><br />numbers???   The same numbers cant be a quick pick,   HMMMMM<br /><br />makes you wonder if this is made up with errors like that]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[When Alberta James of Machesney Park, Ill. arrived home from work tired and soaked from the rain last week, she listened to a garbled message on her answering machine from her best friend about the Lottery. At the time, Alberta had no idea that her life was about to change.<br /><br />When I called my friend back she said, 'Oh my God, you're rich. One winner has a $7 million ticket they bought from Vince's, and I'm sure it's you!'  said James. She didn't believe her friend:  You dream about it, but you...
