Hola.

Reading your statement, I'm reminded of the mother who presented her son, who'd just signed his first contract to play ball professionally, with a check, apparently to cover the cost of raising him. I guess she didn't think being a mother should come without a monetary benefit. Try and remember that bringing a child into this world does not a parent make. I've seen parents treat their children despicably, and the moment the child says enough's enough, they are labeled as ungrateful.

I even kn... [ More ]

Because this is the Litigious States of America and every crackpot and dingbat can sue for everything. If a cop can sue Starbucks because he spilled his free cup of coffee on himself, this admittedly mentally unstable woman can sue her daughter for this.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was discovered this story was a plant to piss off the thief. Who leaves a lottery ticket they consider worth checking on their dash that long? Lottery tickets are printed on heat sensitive paper and setting on a hot dash for any time usually ruin them.

Crazy lady. All that medication screwed her head up and now's she's worried about the money. Don't see how they can sue if the NYL already did their investigation.

Thief steals cheap sunglasses, unknowingly leaves behind $1 million

SEATTLE Among a list of things you shouldn t leave in your car, a winning lottery ticket tops the charts.

Thankfully, for one Seattle couple, luck does strike twice.

According to the Washington Lottery, the couple left a $1 million winning Powerball ticket in their car for three months before realizing it was a winner. The ticket, purchased from Iman s in the 2000 block of NW Market Street in February, sat idle in the c... [ More ]

Not related to this story, but this fits the dumb thieves category. Thieves stole sunglasses from a car in Seattle, and underneath was a Powerball ticket..turns out it was a million dollar ticket. Saw that on GMA this morning.

Remember the women in Detroit who was arrested for fraud because she didn't report her million dollars lottery winnings for fear of losing her food stamps and public assistance. Even her family didn't think she did anything wrong as they said she still need the public assistance inspite of her lottery winnings. People have funny ideas about money.

Barbara Quiles is suing her daughter Linza Ford for allegedly stealing her New York Lottery Jackpot winnings that her daughter claimed on her behalf in 2012.

A woman who identified herself over the phone as Quiles sister said, This is causing her a lot of stress, This whole situation is making her very nervous, she's not doing well.

Asked if she still plays the lottery, Quiles said, I still pick up a ticket or two, but now I go in with a dream but no dollar.

Am I to believe her biggest worry was inheritance issues when she's living on disability?

It's very unlikely that she'll die with an estate that will be taxed, but she could easily die with a millions dollars of debt. Whatever her estate has, including any lottery winnings, will be used towards paying off the debt and there probably won't be anything left for any of the kids to inherit.

Not that that means her story is any more plausible.

Oh puh-lease. CPS was created because not every person who brings a child into this world should be a parent. Don't just assume the mother is a saint just because she's sickly. And chances are what the daughter was doing living at home was caring for the mother and her little sister. People with all of her issues need assistance and no way could she afford a private healthcare worker. She has a 29 year old daughter who doesn't appear anywhere in this picture, why? You'd think she'd have somethin... [ More ]

Exactly right, this is nothing but greed. How in the world could you turn your back on family, especially a sick mother. Even if the ticket was the daughter's I'd still take care of my family. One thing is for sure she'll pay one day. Money comes and goes as young as she is my bet is that money will be gone one day because it won't be managed right and she'll regret some things. Unless her mother was an abusive alcoholic non caring mother as a child that may be a different circumstance that no o... [ More ]

If someone wants someone else to represent them as a claimant for a lottery prize there is paper work to be filled out even if they are your children. She should have spent the extra time and money seeking the advice of a lawyer.

My aunt had lupus, but she was an avid lottery player. Highly doubt she would've let it get in the way of claiming a big win!

Sorry, but I have no sympathy for the mom. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree so I have a feeling there is more to this story.

Teddi — Thu, 28 May 2015 00:46:33 GMT

The mother has an older daughter and didn't ask that daughter to solely claim the ticket, or co-claim it with the 21 year old? That makes no sense.

Her reason for having her daughter claim it is ridiculous. She's only 48 or 49 at the time of the win. Assuming she doesn't die of an ill-timed accident, she has decades of life ahead of her. Certainly a life filled with medical expenses, but a long life nonetheless. Am I to believe her biggest worry was inheritance issues when she's living on di... [ More ]

Or, perhaps, her mother had breasts infections (or a different major problem) and couldn't breastfeed this middle daughter. LOL!

Regardless, a sad story both ways. May Barbara Quiles reclaim her better health, and if she is suffering from undiagnosed mental problems these past few years, may she receive aid and relief sooner than later.

...Her Mother carried her for 9 months, clothed her, breastfed her and this woman says She is not entitled to any of it? .

First of all: addressing her Mother as she is a disgrace. There is a Higher Power that is watching this and will hold her accountable.

She s not entitled to any of it. Is that how you payback your MOTHER?. I'll bet she goes crawling back to dear old mom, when the money runs out, if it hasn't run out already. Some peoples' kids, ghetto-fabulous and no brains. Just give your Mom half, after taxes.

Regardless of who you believe, the mother or the daughter...one thing sticks out to me. The daughter was living at home during the win and her comment that the ticket was hers, always was and the mom is not entitled to a bit of it.... Maybe your mom is not entitled but she is your mom who fed and housed you all your life...You mom deserves some help (physically or mentally ill) and this daughter is a LOSER even if it was her ticket.

ThatScaryChick — Wed, 27 May 2015 16:27:26 GMT

Yeah I kind of agree. Why the long wait to file the lawsuit? If you believed the ticket was yours and your daughter took all the money when she cashed in the ticket, wouldn't you pursue getting it back a lot sooner?

I'm thinking maybe the daughter actually won and for whatever reason cut the mother out of any winnings and then the mom decided to file a lawsuit when she realized she wasn't going to get any of it.

I am from NYC this is a very sad story between mother and daughter, even though the mother claims its her ticket its to late now the ticket has been cashed and there was no legal agreement between both of them just word of mouth and people can change their story to benefit themselves. In my opinion Linza Ford is the owner of the ticket because she cashed the ticket, and she gave all her information to NY Lottery commission and paid her taxes under her social and used her bank account the mother

Very sad how can you do that to your mom. Even if the daughter is right, her mother could use the help.

I have to wonder why the mother didn't entrust it to the oldest daughter...a 21 year old is not the best money manager,

I know I wasn't .

She could at least pay off her student loan, higher education is not an entitlement.

Ticket claimed, and filed under adults name.( he who claims it, gets it). Three years later, files suit?

I have to agree, the Mother may not be all together accurate.

To many fallacies by the mother for it to be entirely true.

Linza Ford showed off her oversized check after claiming the $1 million jackpot in 2012.

But Ford maintains the ticket and the $1 million jackpot are and always were hers.

This was my ticket, Ford told The News. She s not entitled to any of it.

With stories like this, you can't really tell who's telling the truth and who's lying.

But, it is sad to see a relationship like this. If Mom is really that bad off, the daughter should help some. But, it looks clear that isn't happening, because that relationship went sour a long time ago.

I don't know why but the mothers story doesn't sound completely true to me. Maybe is because I had friends with family members who suffer from mental illness or were just pure evil and they always used their illness and problems to justify their abusive behavior , once the person was able to leave they had to always to endure the accusations of being bad children from their parents. They would always talk about all the stuff they did for them which most of the time were lies or exaggeration.... [ More ]

A dollar and a dream has turned into a $1 million legal nightmare with a Brooklyn, New York, woman accusing her daughter of running off with her jackpot.

In papers filed in Brooklyn Supreme Court, Barbara Quiles says her daughter, Linza Ford, has absconded with her winnings.
