DId they forge the thing????? The last time I heard of something like that was Ben Johnson.... After he won the race, he didn't smile.

[newfette]

shit if they dont want 24 million reasons to smile i will gladly take it off their hands..

[wildrosegirl]

Well, they got Grandma to smile once.....

Maybe grandma is giving most of it to charity, and only a small amount to each of the kids.

You know I wouldnt smile either, call me jadeed but i could just picture all of my long lost relatives lining up for a share!!!!

[ryan29]

And that is just the start.....security because they are in the public spotlight.

A lot of folk just don't like getting centered out.

Perhaps they discussed it and reflected on it and were wondering if it was not a curse.

OLG sells more tickets with grinning jackasses.....

So some people didn't want to be part of the dog and pony show, big frickin' deal. I wouldn't want my name and picture plastered in the newspaper saying I had just won a crapload. Every shyster, salespersn and mooch would be at my door. Unfortunately every lottery corporation makes you jump through hoops in order to get your winnings. If it was me I would walk in in a Santa outfit, take the photo and walk out immediately while telling the media to go "fuddle duddle" themselves.

Money does not make people happier, just wealthier.

Having reflected upon this---I have realized that the wisest thing prior to purchasing new wheels would be to hire a professional bullet-stopper (body guard).

I'd buy a couple of mastiffs and tether them close to the front door and get a new unlisted phone number. I'd also take a nice long trip.

Maybe this is why they were less than enthused for the cameras........
