Dispute over winning New Jersey Big Game ticket

By
HILLSIDE, NEW JERSEY - There&#39;s a good reason why the person who validated a winning Big Game ticket in New Jersey hasn&#39;t claimed the prize. <br> <br> Several other people say the ticket worth $59 million belongs to them. <br> <br> State lottery officials have heard from a lawyer who represents the man who brought the ticket to the Hillside, New Jersey, gas station where it was purchased. <br> <br> Another attorney represents people claiming to be part of an office pool whose money was used to buy tickets that include the winner. <br> <br> Acting lottery director Carole Hedinger is reviewing the rules. <br> <br> The ticket was one of three for last Tuesday&#39;s drawing for the $331 million annuity jackpot. One winner has come forward in Georgia. Whoever purchased the other ticket in Illinois has yet to claim the prize.
