Guess it's up to whomever supposedly paid her $1.00 to either admit or deny (or she's going to have to prove she gave her $1.00 to someone -- difficult thing to do).

It could be any of the following scenarios:

1. She's being cheated by the other winners.

2. She's trying to scam her way into the winnings.

3. She's innocent of scamming but really has no right to any of the winnings because no one paid her share.

4. Someone forgot to mention that $1.00 was for her and now is afraid to step up.

Regardless, no one should be too quick to condemn anyone in this. They could all be innocent. We just don't have the facts.
Agree with Red.....I'd go with selection 2 and 3 and here's why. For a long time, were talking 5 plus years now, inside staff would put "their own" 1.00 in an envelope for the wed and sat drawing and write their name on the envelope. At one time 12 - 15 people were in the drawings. This time only 7 had put their dollar in and the others for what ever reason had not put their name along with a dollar in the envelope.

For those that say "Oh lets just include her", what about the others who had followed the protocol but missed this particular drawing. One of the winners acknowledged missing several drawings because of travels and happened to luckily be in this one.

As I said it's a little of #2 and #3 from Red's post. And no I'm not affiliated with one of the lucky 7.....
