Mega Millions: Does anyone else think she's lying?

Do you mean is she lying about having a winning ticket at all... or lying about having a separate ticket from the one she bought with the money form her co-workers?

Personally I don't think she has a winning ticket at all.

And for the reason why... attention.

Once a woman went into a store and offered to buy everyone in the store whatever they wanted, saying she had just hit the lottery. Of course they all called friends to get to the store quick and mass chaos ensued.

But the problem is, she didn't have a dime to her name. She just wanted attention.

I think this woman is doing the same thing.

Not sure if she counted on her co-workers claiming rights to the ticket or not though.

She could offer to take a lie detector test to eliminate all the doubts, if she's serious. Save a lot of time and teeth gnashing. If she did in fact purchase a separate ticket for herself, she should have told her work mates and shown the ticket to them & let them write those numbers down so if it did win there would be no doubt. I cannot imagine that she did not think of that, if in fact she purchased a separate ticket with her own money. It doesn't look good for her right now because she has no proof. The payoff is so high that I can't see any excuse for trying to scam her fellow employees, if she is doing so. There is more than enough to go around.

Time will tell if she is lying or not. I do want to say that I was over a pool at work from 2004 to 2008 at the plant where I worked. I gave all players copies of a sheet I placed all the tickets on and a list of all players by their code number from two to sixty. (#1 was my own code number.) And yes, I had a personal set of numbers that I played which I told everyone about knowing they couldn't expect a damn thing from THAT set since they had COPIES of the tickets we played in our pool TOGETHER. I handed out little finger sized receipts with the name of our pool: Mega Millions Prize Pool, a ticket number, the date of the draw, and the amount of money the player had paid. Some tickets had one dollar printed on them but other tickets had amounts from two to ten dollars printed on them where I would circle the amount that the player paid for THOSE particular tickets. I had my SHITTTTTT together!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, and I recorded who had been issued WHAT ticket too on a scrap piece of paper that I photocopied for everyone to have with their copy of the tickets. Everyone knew who played, how much they paid, and had copies of all the tickets. This helped for the time when my wife hit the Cash 4 for $10,800.00 in September of 2008 during the time I was running our pool! Yeah, we had tried the Cash 4 a few times, but one guy kept saying that we should put all of our money on just the BIG lotto games, so I stopped putting POOL dollars on the Cash 4. Well, when we hit no one had copies of the number 1990 on their playslip, so they could rest assured that we were all coture on the fact that my wife's win was HER WIN!

Why should we care?

If she's lying, it just to get attention, which means she's probably lying. How did they know she had a ticket unless she told someone so?

If she DID win, she's a d*mn fool for telling ANYBODY.

She gets her 15 minutes of fame and if the mega millions staff is stupid enough the jackpot. People will do anything for money.

probably has mental health issues, she needs a bit of sympathy, public opprobrium will follow

I believe she is a manipulative liar to do this for attention. Please answer mines: /question/index?qid=20150...
