I'm thinking the other two winners are both sat at home thinking I'll wait for that other schmuck to claim his share while the all the media focus on him, I'll go claim my share .

Ok this one is kinda funny! I can't see any way it will succeed. Really, he sends money OUT of his prison fund? How much do prisoners make these days? Last I knew it was about 20 cents per hour.

But it's certainly a cautionary tale for future winners. There's nothing to stop ANYONE from filing a lawsuit in this country. A relative I haven't heard from for 20 years could see my name as a winner and claim that I promised them 25 years ago that I would split any winnings with them. Remember thos... [ More ]

I wonder where OzLotteries gotten this info from (from blog)

The Californian winning ticket was 1 of 18,000 purchased by the owner of a chain of nursing homes as gifts for his employees and patients. The actions of this generous boss, who is reportedly prone to acts of random, eccentric kindness , lead to a 62-year old woman employed as a senior nurse becoming the second winner in the mega Powerball jackpot.

There you go guys the family in Tennessee is already being sued by a former inmate who claims he chipped on the buying the tickets. This is why it's important to stay anonymous or at least as much as possible. Expect more lawsuits against this family. Now we'll see how good that attorney is that told them to go public.

I'm glad the frenzy has started to die down a little though. Clearly, there are still people with nothing better to do than stir the pot with fake claims.

Since no one has come forward to claim the other two tickets, I'm starting to think both are going to be lost ticket scenarios.

If so that's a bummer for the Tennessee winners as they would no get the whole pot, the states where the other winning tickets were bought would get it unfortunately.

A post is going around on Facebook about one of the three Powerball lottery winners dying from a drug overdose. Absolutely FALSE
