i noticed it says home maker wife I wonder if that means they married for the purpose of her looking after him? ie love was never a part of the deal.

my other comment is that dont lottery agents usually have video recordings of the ticet sales area and exact footage of when the tickets are sold? i dont think theres going to be that much dificulty in finding the real owner, maybe the authorities are letting the lying theif dig themselves a bigger hole befor they start piling the dirt on t...

Retired carpenter Gerald Moore, 81, filed a lawsuit saying he bought the ticket. His homemaker wife of 10 years, Mary Patricia Moore, 59, says it was her daughter's ticket.

Wow that sure is quite an age span. Looks like she is a gold digger for sure. I sure hopes she gets what she deserves...zilch, zero, nada.

yeah the claim the daughter bought the ticket is proved wrong by the giving the mum 1.5 mill. of the win.

to me that proves that the mother obtained the ticket, and paid the daughter to claim it. ie she stole it. the old man is lucky he didnt get overdosed on his medication and end up dead.

Actually, the daughter only kept a million for herself, gave her sister a million as well for some reason gave her mother 1.5 million... Splitting it like that is just odd...

Now correct me if I'm wrong it said nowhere that she gave any money to the daughter and why not if she played the numbers for her. I smell a rat and why would you just give your mother and sister a million each. Now I love both my mother and sister dearly but I don't think if I only won 3mil that I would give them a million each maybe half a mil. I think I C some pure Karma coming.

What if.......as soon as one buys a ticket(s)....sign them right there and then. Regardless if the drawing is in 2 more days...or if you don't even know if your a winner. What harm can it do? You are claiming the ticket is rightfully yours right then and there. Then...if it is a winner....or comes up missing.....you can yell FAUL and have your name on it to back it up.

I never thought of that before. Most will sign the ticket as soon as they see its a winner...but not right after purchasing i... [ More ]

Wow, certainly went through over a million dollars rather quickly... Strange though that the daughter who was supposedly the winner received a smaller share than her mother, even if she bought the ticket for her...

Seems to me that the lottery needs to decipher all of those numbers that appear on every lottery ticket that to the average ticket holder make no sense.Those numbers will tell the story of when where the ticket was sold.Have the Moores tell when where they bought ticket.The one that gets it wrong is the liar the thief.The other wins.

Lottery cash frozen as family feuds over winnings

Since celebrating a $3.5 million lottery win earlier this year, a Windsor, Ontario, family has been torn apart with an elderly man accusing his wife and stepdaughters of conspiring to hide the winnings from him.

Retired carpenter Gerald Moore, 81, filed a lawsuit saying he bought the ticket. His homemaker wife of 10 years, Mary Patricia Moore, 59, says it was her daughter's ticket.

To complicate matters, the suit was filed by Mr. Moore a month after Ms. Moore filed for divorce, and police... [ More ]
