Yep, I've seen these stories as well where people squirrel away their tickets in a drawer or shoebox. I don't get it........ but it happens.

The amazing thing about this story and others like it is that contrary to lottery players who make a conserted effort to win the lottery(safeguard the ticket/ check the result) this is what wins. Too often winning tickets are lost , misplaced or unchecked, and those are determined to be winners

The winner had no obligation to give supporting justifications for who she shared her money.

She owed the press and public nothing.

* Margot's Son knew where his Mom had squirreled away her ticket. He could have cashed it in without her knowing about the win, but he was honest did the right thing. Margot could have mentioned that her son declined any part of the win, instead she...

I have a granny and broom story also. Maybe we all do? I was about 3 and there was this black roof rat in the yard. I thought it was something to play with and supposedly headed towards it. My grandmother rushed out with a broom to whack it. That rat was jumping in the air higher than my little body. And I remember that thing clearly jumping.

LOLOL.. all this talk about granny and sons,etc brought back to mind an episode of me and my grandma (my dad's mom). When I was about 6, I was quite the brat, and proud of it. One day she had enough of my bratiness and conked me over the head with a broom. The hard part that holds the bristles. I settled down after that.

Kinda.

Are you really that entitled? Perhaps her son makes a good salary and the great grandchildren need the money. You are assuming a lot of alleged facts that were not presented. If I told a family member to check a ticket, I cannot imagine it giving me a claim to a cent of the winnings.

I really hope a member of your family does not win the lottery. You would be suing them for part of it.

Her SON is responsible for her claiming the winning ticket in time, yet stated she will spend it on herself her great grandchildren, NOT Her Son ... How Generous
