1. Yeah, right. I wonder if she ever had the winning ticket in the first place. sounds like a

pathological liar.

[WI_DEM]

2. Oh really? a ticket worth millions of dollars and you lose it!?

[amuse bouche]

3. It looks like she just wanted attention

And she probably needs a mental health evaluation

[Gibby]

4. Hmmm? Could the ticket be tucked under the WMDs?

Somewhere far far away from America in the totalitarian fantasy realm of the Republicon Homeland, where bullshit is routinely worshiped as truth ?

[jberryhill]

5. I lost the title and sale documents to my Lamborghini

I hate when that happens.

I also lost a billion in cash, the key to my mansion, and my copy of Howard Hughes' will in which he gave me everything.

[orwell]

12. I found the Lambo key...

...thanks by the way.

Did you know that it sticks a little in second gear...

[onehandle]

6. Shocked. I am shocked, I say!

Liar. I knew it.

MSNBC spent about 40 hours on this liar this week.

[backscatter712]

8. And that demonstrates how fucked our media is.

SHINY! LOOK AT THE CRAZY PERSON! No, don't look at the corporate pirates and political crooks jamming their dicks up your ass. LOOK AT THE SHINY!

[Brickbat]

7. She needs some help, and not from a lottery ticket. Sad all around.

[cloudbase]

10. She could have used the winnings for some English lessons.

"I didn’t make up the story," Wilson told him. "I did not make up no story to get no attention."

[Nye Bevan]

11. Worst attention-seeker since the Balloon Boy fiasco (nt)

[bluedigger]

13. You ever wonder if you should have made up the story yourself?

How much could you profit by simply lying and stealing 15 minutes of fame? Who do you hurt in a case such as this, as opposed to a "balloon boy" that consumed public resources? A gullible public, eager for a human interest story?

[liberal N proud]

14. Tough break

If you don't have it, you are not going to be able to collect.

[trumad]

15. I remember years ago

some local kids in Orlando pranked a couple of TV stations into thinking they had won the lottery.

They took a real ticket and changed the numbers on it---then made a photo copy. They then had a bunch of friends over to throw a fake congratulatory party. All the kids were in on it.

They then called the TV stations about it and the stations sent reporters.

They totally fell for it hook and sinker.

[malaise]

16. Bwaaaaaaaaaah hahahahaha

I'm lovin' it

[Initech]

17. Attention seeking epic fail. No jury is gonna buy this.

[longship]

18. I prefer the old Let's Make a Deal zonk noise

Sorry, no link.

Wa-Wa--Waaah!

19. 'no tickee, NO LAUNDRY!!!!' LOL nt
