Whoever that nice person who let her go ahead of them in line is probably kicking themselves for being so nice to their elders.

Unless she breaks off a mil or two for him.

That's if she remembers who they were. She may make an offer, and have a couple thousand people claim they were the ones who let her go ahead of them.

Winner and her son.

Not seen: the flight of stairs two steps ahead of her that she's about to take a header down.

Just once I want some recent college grad who is eyeball deep in debt to win a lottery jackpot. It's always someone old.

I remember Letterman had a woman in her early 20s on who had just claimed a crazy jackpot, was nice to see someone that young win it.
 
Apparently the old millionaire is a line-cutter. She better give some of this fortune to the mom, or karma is going to smite her something fierce.

Guess I can understand why she opted for the lump sum as opposed to the payouts over the next 30 years.
