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.

I agree.

Was the ticket acutually owned 7 ways or 6 ways. That is to say, did somebody put the $1 in for her then after the win declare two shares. Or, since she didn't pay, was she left out altogether and only six tickets purchased. IF somebody put it a dollar for her, then that person owns a double share of the win.

There is a reason that she is being exluded. It's not likely that ALL six of the others would be in agreement to leave her out without a sound reason.

Excellent questions. We don't know all the facts. Heck we know almost none of them. That article was some sorry excuse for news reporting.
