i never believed her story in the first place, something wasn't right about the way she was telling her story in the first place, GOD DON'T LIKE UGLY IF SHE WANTS MONEY SHE BETTER TRY TO EARN IT BY DOING SOMETHING WITH HER LIFE INSTEAD OF CONNING PEOPLE.

I feel real sorry for the gal who was the real winner. She didn't want to come forward this soon but was forced to because of this greedy lady making up the story. The gal could have used some time to get things in order (lawyers, financial planners, accountants etc.) Too bad for her.

I would like to win to help my family also but I'm not going to concoct such a lie to do so. If I win it will be fair and square like it should be.

She told a lie so big, she couldn't take it back until she was up against the wall, she does deserve what she gets, she did make the police look kinda silly when they said it sounded like a credible story....however with seven kids (hopefully shes not lying about that) I don't think jail time is going to help anybody....

So, she knew the winning ticket was out there, safely in the possession of the person who bought it, who would dventually cash it in at lottery headquarters. How could she have hoped a hair brained lie aided by a hack lawyer (who should soon be disbarred) was going to bring a few million to her fat little hands? At this point she should say At least I didn't kill anybody. The only good thing to come out of this would be if the police and lottery refused to take any more reports of lost tick... [ More ]

I bet a lot of people check Jack Whittaker's SUV every time he leaves it in a public place hoping to find a brief case, not a lottery ticket.RJOh

Hmmmmm, Next time there is a big jackpot, I think I'll tell everybody I threw it in the trash by mistake and took it to the local dump. I wonder how many people would show up to look through all that garbage

Hey! When the last word come out her mouth! She knew she lied. Had all those people out in the parking lot with flash light looking for a ticket that was not there. The bad part about it was I felt sorry for her. With here back behind the fence playing self. Oh! By the way everybody look for 486

Can we say.......JAIL TIME. People who play the lottery, wish for a jackpot to come their way but that is the craziest thing I have every heard. Humiliation, devastation, she asked for it!! Congrats goes to the real winner and her family.

Isn't it hysterical that she is saying that she lied because she wanted to help recently laid-off Cleveland police officers? It's more along the lines of buttering them up so they don't press charges for filing a false police report.Shame, shame, everyone knows your alias name
