The 2nd winner of the $380 million Mega Millions Lottery has been identified, but she’s not trying be all at the press conference. We can’t even blame homegirl either. Who wants to be answering questions and putting your situation on blast?!?!

A woman from northern Idaho is the winner of the other half of the $380 million Mega Millions lottery jackpot, officials announced Wednesday.

The winner was identified as Holly Lahti but she did not appear at the news conference and officials said she had requested privacy. Neither her age nor hometown were provided.

She had bought the ticket at a store in Post Falls, Idaho.

“She’s requested that the media respect her privacy and not attempt to contact her until she’s prepared to speak to you,” Lottery Director Jeff Anderson said at a news conference.

He referred to Lahti as a “delightful young lady” and said he tried to persuade her to go public because there are “a lot of curious people out there.” But he said she has a lot to get in order first.

“We expect she’ll be coming forward shortly,” Anderson said.

Don’t hold ya breath holmes. If she knows what good for her she’ll cash that check and skip town!

Maaaan listen, Spain got it RIGHT with their lottery system! Can you imagine how much money would be distributed if America used this same style? If they don’t re-elect Obama we might have to find some property in Madrid

Spain’s beloved Christmas lottery sprinkled 2.3 billion euros ($3 billion) in holiday cheer across the country Wednesday, handing out winnings eagerly welcomed by a nation facing 20 percent unemployment.

One of the most awaited days of the year in Spain served up merry moments for people struggling to make mortgage payments and pay bills, or those seeking jobs. One lottery vendor said he had hired a medium to lure good luck.

The government-run lottery billed as the world’s richest has no single jackpot but operates a complex share-the-wealth system in which thousands of five-digit numbers running from 00000 to 84999 win at least something. It is known as “El Gordo” (The Fat One) and dates back to 1812.

Tax-free winnings range from the face value of a 20-euro ($26.31) ticket — in other words, you get your money back — to a top prize of 300,000 euros ($394,650).

The sweepstakes, which goes on for three hours, informally ushers in the Christmas season. Many Spaniards spend the day glued to TV sets, radios and computers, waiting to see if they are among the lucky. People often team up to buy shares of tickets sold by bars, sports clubs and business offices.

We need to get a petition started, a youtube video, a demonstration, SOMETHING! But we need this here stateside ASAP!
