Florida LLC revealed to have claimed $1.6 billion Mega Millions lottery jackpotReply
There is nothing suspicious about winning a prize in one part of a state and claiming it in another part of the state. Waiting is also not suspicious because they wanted to make sure they had everything in order. In most states one's name has to match identically on both the ID and social security card when claiming a prize at lottery headquarters.

Michigan man found dead with winning lottery ticket in his walletReply
I don't think it is odd that MI requires SS and photo ID to collect winning because most states do that. The woman in the story says the guy had a SS card but, it was bad so he was applying for a new one. His SS card was good enough at one time for him to get a photo ID. He probably had to get a new SS card because his name was not spelled exactly the same on his ID as it was on his SS card. A lot of people don't know this until they go to the lottery headquarters, to try and cash in their ticke
