that's the weird thing about it. In the past I had thought about hooking some family and friends if I won big at that time. Now however I would say screw them cos I know they wouldn't do the same for me.

As for Jack, I would say that the things that happened in regards to his granddaughter most likely would have happened regardless of the lottery win. He was rich already and she was obviously spoiled long before the lottery win and the area they live in isn't exactly a cultural area....... [ More ]

Aside from the women dancing with no tops on, I rather spend some of that cash on metal detecting trips off shore detecting in the shallows. I belive in hooking up Fam just don't know if they feel the same way as me.

All I know is if I won that much cash, I would hook up some of my Fam..and then pay off all debts, then every thing is clear as way I'll go on Vaca some where cell phones dosen't excist and sip mai tai's or pina colads and watch the women in dance with no tops on.

The solution to all larger jackpot winners' problems can be resolved by disappearing for several years in the stunningly beautiful city of Perth by the sea.

Be it the press, unscrupulous lawyers or scammers; they won't likely follow a lottery winner to those remote locations.

... alas, they never listen to my advice

The one I hate the most is a commercial here in Tennessee about these injure attorneys . It is about that kid that died in Jack's house; He was sued for that too and everybody lived happily ever after. What a F

Yes, he is being picked on too much and maybe he didn't assault these women. Perhaps he's being judged by his reputation. That said, he's not totally innocent because of his erratic behavior over the years. However, I think he should have sold his business and moved far away after he won the PB jackpot. Still, you can't run away from who you are.

The lottery can be a blessing or a curse, but it's really the winner who makes that decision.

she said she would have torn the ticket up because she was happier before the money and her Granddaughter was still alive.

Yeah, after watching "lottery diaries" on t.v., it made me feel almost afraid to come back here and fool with the games. And I personally don't feel that poor ol' Jack deserves all the stuff he gets. I think he should pay what he agreed to pay., but I think the bank that had the tellers stealing his money need to pay him back too. Stealing is stealing, I don't care who you think you are.

That's America for you. Everybody owes you something.

They should leave Jack alone. Winning the lottery is not a curse.

A judge issued a summary judgment Wednesday against Jack Whittaker in a breach of contract lawsuit filed in February by Rhonda L. Lilly.

Lilly, who was a floor attendant at Tri-State Racetrack Gaming Center in Nitro, had agreed to an undisclosed settlement from Whittaker in exchange for dismissing a personal injury claim against him, th... [ More ]
