They have not claimed the prize, they will wait another week (if Tuesday is next Tuesday). You really never know what they mean when they say something. All that interest down the drain! Useless waste of money

I saw a snippet of the press conference. Steve West, Bob Chaney and their wives are sharing the pot. At least they took the time to get everything in order before they claimed their prize.

Yes but those honest stories would not make a very good impression on the kids growing up.I fail to see where me, or any one else, outside of the parents, have a responsibility to put forth a good impression. Sports leaders are exempt. Musicians are exempt. Movie peopele are exempt. Televisions executives are exempt. School teachers are exempt. Corporate executives are exempt. Presidents are exempt.

Yes but those honest stories would not make a very good impression on the kids growing up. Course encouraging lottery habits is also not a very good impression either nonetheless. Peron ally I would not 'media sugarcoat' anything, nor would I tell them what I was going to actually do. That is my business, not theirs or everyone elses.I would say that they did not give a crap about me before I held the winning ticket, so that is how it should stay. I will be retreating to my newly built mansion... [ More ]

No matter who, I want to hear some down to earth honesty from these winners, without the borderline stupid comments about being the same old Joe, meeting at the corner market every Monday and buying a cup of java for the good old boys. I want to hear the woman say she is going out and spend a million dollars on dresses and shoes and not worry about the bottom line. That would be honesty. I want to hear the man say he is flying to Italy so he can buy his shoes at the same place as George Clooney... [ More ]

That's assuming it is that family. It could still be someone else that won it. Lottery officials have confirmed none of their stories.

Heheheh - whats left for the Robert Chaney and Steve West group to talk about? How they are going to remain the calm, considerate people they have always been. Will donate portions to charity, churches, and hurricane victims. Boring.I want to hear the kid talk about how he is now rich and is going to spend like crazy on women, cars, women, and more women; oh, and pay some one to take his exams. (Like the Walmart chick did.) I want to hear how he is going to flaunt his new beauty's in front of... [ More ]

Actually that is pretty smart, just wait as long as you can until people no longer care. Ingenious! That way all those looking to come running for money will have forgotten by the time you get it.

If they wait until 2010 they would lose the prize in 2006.

Geee, I wonder who won. Maybe he is just a slow starter, and now has a crew together to tell him how to function as a multimillionaire.
