MUNFORD, Tenn. = A Tennessee couple went on NBC’s “Today” show on Friday and claimed they have one of the three winning Powerball jackpot tickets.

If true, this is stupidity on steroids.

Now all they need do is to put a gun-free zone sign in their yard.

[refreshed]

Apparently they haven’t even gone to the authorities with the ticket yet. Johnson City, hmmm. About 500 miles from here. I pray for their safety and wiser counsel!

[Zathras]

So thats where I left it...

[Rurudyne]

Agreed.

With that kind of swag you should create your own equivalent of the witness relocation program for your extended family. Well, at least the ones you like.

They are in the other end of the state - near Memphis. Johnson City is the source I picked up on.

The very LAST THING I would do is go on national TV.

I’d go hide in the most remote mountain cabin I could find and let my lawyer do the talking.

[Blue Jays]

Agreed. I would keep entirely quiet until I had submitted the ticket and also spoken to financial planners, lawyers, and security experts.

When I win the powerball later this week the last thing I’m going to do it tell anyone before I have the money in my hands. ;-)

[Blood of Tyrants]

That’s John and Maureen Robinson.

If true, this is stupidity on steroids.

I'm thinking nuclear meltdown level, Simpsons-style...

[refreshed]

Hopefully cooler heads will prevail and they will be taken to safety. I’ll put them up for 1 percent! LOL

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Same.

[don-o]

The very LAST THING I would do is go on national TV.

But we see folks experiencing all manner of tragedy and horror with their mugs on TeeVee - on purpose. Way beyond my understanding.

[VRWCarea51]

Not only that but then Savanna when questioning them let it slip that they live next door to the store where he bought the ticket.

Their Attorney should be disbarred for putting his clients safety at risk like that.

What a complete maroon!
