HILLSIDE, NEW JERSEY - There's a good reason why the person who validated a winning Big Game ticket in New Jersey hasn'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'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.
