1. WOMAN LIES ABOUT WINNING LOTTERY
A 39-year-old woman admitted that she had lied. She claimed that she
bought the latest winning lottery ticket in Massachusetts, but then lost it. The
ticket was worth $18 million after all deductions. Jean Fenn was charged with
grand larceny. A conviction could put her in prison for up to seven years.
The real winner of the ticket, Kevin Hayes, 66, presented it a week ago to the
liquor store where he had bought it. That store will receive one percent of the
prize, or $180,000. The owner of the store, Mark Abrams, 56, was overjoyed.
"Last year we had a storm that blew half of our roof off. It cost $25,000 to put a
new roof on."
Hayes said he was reminded to check his numbers when he heard that a
woman had lost her winning ticket. He and his wife had been camping in the
mountains when the winning number was drawn.
"But I feel sorry for this woman," said Hayes. "She only did this out of
desperation. In fact, I'm going to help her out financially after she gets out of
prison. It's a shame that this wealthy country has so many poor people. So, I'm
going to donate a lot of this money to different charities. What do I need $18
million for?"
The checks to Hayes and Abrams should arrive within two weeks, according
to a lottery spokesman. The spokesman mentioned that lottery players should
remember that the odds of winning the lottery are only about one in forty
million. Even so, most people think that SOMEONE has to win, and it might as
well be them.
