Two women in Ohio are in hot dispute over a $162m lottery win - after one said she had lost the jackpot ticket.
Elecia Battle appealed for help after saying she had dropped the winning receipt in a snow-covered car park.

But it was Rebecca Jemison who turned up at the Ohio lottery offices holding the stub and saying the money was hers.

Here is a link to the STORY

To me it doesn't matter who is lying (which is why I am not going to cast a vote). Its a simple case of whoever turns up with it should get the money. If Rebecca Jemison won it fair and square then she has good luck, but if she found it then she has better luck in my opinion.

The one who found it last should win. But I'd vote for the cuter.

Obviously one of em is lying. Look for the one who's nose gained a few inches.

The woman that had it also had a time dated receit for the ticket.The woman that said she lost it wouldn't respond to phone calls made by the lottery officials, and now that it's been established that a criminal investigation will result in charges (30 days to six months and or a $1000 fine)she and her lawyer refuse to resond to anyone.

If I found the ticket, I would share it. If I bought the ticket and the first woman made up her story I would not share it. If it gets to far out of hand I would give the woman a few million and tell her to shut up about.

Simple as that.

BTW I did not vote. Sorry, none of the answers fit my take on it.

Heh! just someone who want pieces of the pie.

Is there snow in Ohio?

If I were King Solomon I would say, "Cut the ticket in two", the true owner would weep and the false owner would not care. If life were so simple.</font>
