4:00 pm
respected him as a person. >> admired his strength. can you imagine. we asked del about this. if that happened in this age. >> no kidding. >> in the twitter verse age, everybody's camera going online, a completely different event. >> different event. covered it completely differently. absolutely completely different. but still, very good that he was okay. >> i wish you good luck on mega millions but i'm going to win. see you monday even though. erin burnett "outfront" starts right now. tonight, one of the biggest lotteries in world history. everything you need to know about the mega millions. and a businessman with ties to british spies and communist officials found dead. it reads like a spy novel but this story is all true. and the trayvon martin case. george zimmerman's brother talk answer the medical reports. let's go frnlt frnt. "outfront."
4:01 pm
i'm erin burnett "outfront" tonight, mega millions madness psh americans dreaming of winning the jackpot, the big nest american history. so many people have things that look like this. this is sour show's. your chances of whipping. odds aren't great. 176 million to 1. do you have greater odds of dieing from a bee sting, but i want to get one thing out there right way. this is a rare lottery. usually the expected value of a ticket, of $1 ticket is well below a buck and lotteries are bad bets. the pot's grown so large this time and so many people are playing, that expected value of a ticket based on the $640 million jackpot and abouts 147 million playing, a little oevgs 3ds. if you haven't bought a ticket, might as well. a lot of people are imagining what a win could do to their lives. lines of tickets in 42 states and the district of columblump
4:02 pm
lottery tickets reach $3ds million an hour. these are numbers that have never been seen before, and it adds up to more than just a windfall for the lucky winner. in 2010, lottery sales generated nearly $18 billion in profits for state governments. atop among them, new york, florida, texas, california and massachusetts. and what are they doing with all of this money? well, about half of the value of a ticket actually goes to the ultimate winner. about 35% of it goes to the states, and most of that goes to education. since most lotteries in this country began in 1970s, three states put more than $20 billion into education. new york, california and florida. and with the nation's biggest lottery, new york, funding 15% of its school budget last year alone. now, it's important to point out that while many states advertise, i mean really advertise, as part of their logos that the lottery funds education, a lot of states have cut education budgets even as
4:03 pm
lottery proceeds have risen and funding education isn't always what it seems. today we ran the numbers from florida where all lottery proceeds go to education and about 78% of money goes to college scholarships and school construction bonds. not k-12 and the public schools that do get funds get them only if they're a-rated. so schools in wealthy areas with good test scores get the most money. the director of the lottery, and paul hickey co-founder of research. both out front tonight with two very different and important takes on this. gary, i want to start with you. this is massive. i mean, this is something that probably put a lot of people in a good mood today. just the dream and hope. you know. someone on our staff didn't want me to flash our tickets, because it might give us bad luck. but the president today called lotteries a regressive tax. do you agree with that? >> no, i do not. thank you for having me here, and what we believe is that it's
4:04 pm
way for people to have some fun at a very low price, and also contribute to good causes. as you so eloquently mentioned, in most states, including texas, all of these millions of dollars spent on the lottery does go to help fund public ed conditieduc. we look tat as a chance to dream, as you said. the fun part about playing a lottery, especially a $640 million jackpot, the time when you purchase the ticket to when the balls are drawn. you can dream about what you might do if you're the lucky winner of that enormous prize. >> and i think -- a lot of people have done that. you can see the good in that. i do want to run this by you. a gallup poll says 57% of adults that bought a lottery ticket in the pooft year, 53% of people who bought them had incomes under $s 25,000. is this a fair way for states to run money? >> i'm not familiar with that particular study we do our own
4:05 pm
stud any texas. depend on the sample you're talking to and on what type of answers people give. it might not surprise you to know that people always aren't real forthcoming with how much they wager on lotteries or other forms of gaming. so you need to take that with a grain of salt. >> paul, let me ask you about crunching the numbers. the odds obviously are very slim. the whole daily beast is a funny article of thing morse likely to happen to you than win the lottery. are there better ways to pick numbers, or should you go with what we appear to do, the quick picks? >> i think there's all sorts of theory what's to do. some say pick higher numbers. most play their birthdays or the day they're born. less odds you'll share the jackpot. certain numbers come up more often than others. 36 is the second most frequent number of the five. of the mega ball, the most frequent number. >> 36. >> if that's your number, megaball, that's the best odds.
4:06 pm
mega ball coming up. >> ooh, we have one. >> that's a key there and 36 regular numbers. all spots. odds are astronomical. i'm a left-handed person. odds of left-handed dying because it's a right hernds world, 1-4 million. odds of winning a lottery, fill out 35 million cards if you wanted to play every combination and for the person to process all those, take them years to put all the cards in. it's just astronomical no matter how you look at it. one other thing. people who pick it, a good comment. jackpot, $640 million accounts for 11 hours of u.s. oil imports. that's how much oil -- >> rain on my parade. all right. but how many tickets would you need to buy to get all the combinations? literally, you could do that, if you could do it, you could end up -- well, i mean, guaranteeing you would win and gaining a huge profit. >> 175 million different
4:07 pm
combinations. so if you -- could do it and if were you the only winner, then would you make a profit. but the odds are, first you have to worry, what if four other people win? you're suddenly in the hole. second of all, just to play all those cards i don't think the lottery would let you go in and say -- maybe they would. this is a windfall for the states. over 10% of revenue come from lotteries. >> final word to you, gary. what happens if no one wins? jackpot to almost a billion? >> i can't imagine the excitement. it's crazy today. if we don't have a winner tonight we'll get close to that magic b word. that means a billion dollar jackpot. >> that's crazy. all right. thanks to both of you. appreciate it. and you know -- >> thank you. >> whatever you feel about the serious questions about lotteries, regressivity it is an exciting time to watch the numbers come out. john crowe the man who will be calling the winning numbers tonight. the host of the georgia lottery, and mega millions and right before the show i asked him if
4:08 pm
he's ready. >> there's this mega millions mania out there. it's excitement across the united states. the frenzy, the people, the amount of people out there buying tickets today sin credible. as you know, it's a world record $640 million. that's more than half a billion dollar, erin. >> pretty amazing, and i know there's six numbers. you can pick anywhere between 1 and 60. you've done this a lot, john, but are you worried at all? i don't know that you would -- stutter, say the wrong number, slur, something that i think i would probably do, if the whole country were watching. >> well, erin, until you just put that pressure on me, there, i wasn't worried. now -- no. it's very tight. especially with the numbers falls so quickly. i definitely have said snines. a six/nine. not tonight, erin. not tonight. >> give us a sense of the voice in which you do it?
4:09 pm
>> my voice when i doit. hello america i'm john crowe, tonight's jackpot a world record-breaking $640 million. could you be the winner tonight? play on, america. >> all right. thank you very much, john. appreciate it. >> thank, erin. have a good night. >> you, too. all right. now someone who heard the "would you be a winner" and actually was. what it would be like to win the lottery. as we all know with the whole bee sting, more willing to die of a bee sting, not many experience it. sylvia did in 2007 and is "outfront" to talk about it. good to see you. >> thank you. >> as we think tonight about getting this winner, how that person might react, $112 million and your number, the night that happened. what happened at that moment to you? >> it was one of those surreal moments.
4:10 pm
just like, wow, it did happen. we were just like excited. totally excited. >> were you screaming? were you just -- >> oh, yeah. we did the screaming. the jumping up and down. the hitting each other. oh, yeah. >> so then, you know, we've also heard a lot in the past few days about the bad things that come with lotteries. some people win and they, years later they're destitute, don't have the money. you, know, got right. >> oh, yeah. >> how? >> learning when to stop. stop spending. having a really good financial planner behind you, and listening to them. so i -- i'm fortunate i have really good people who advised knee terms of my funds, and it helps. it really helps, and it also helps to educate yourself in regards to money. >> what was the hardest thing when you say, spend, spend, spend. what was the thing that, when
4:11 pm
you realized i've gone too far or don't have the sense of what this money means, and i'm, you know -- i could get out of control? >> well, -- i think -- when it gets to a point where you're spending just without even thinking about it, and not thinking about the future, that's when you need to really just kind of put the brakes on. >> and you've given a lot of money away. >> yes, i have. >> is that, then, the part that's made you actually feel the best? that power to give? >> it does. because i'm a believer. that you give and you receive it back, and so this is something i've lived with all my life and i believe in the power of good, doing for others, and it will return to you. >> all right. thank you very much. appreciate it. >> you're welcome. >> sit next to someone who won $112 million in a lottery. the chances of this are also really, really low. so i'll take that as my win
4:12 pm
tonight. >> oh! ahead on fr"outfront," speaking with someone who said it's not true, talking to the people in the afghan village that night. a businessman found dead in a hotel room in china with ties to british spies and communist officials. this is true. and talking about dreams tonight. so we've got a flying car. that'll be $973.42. ya know, your rates and fees aren't exactly competitive. who do you think i am, quicken loans?

john henrybrownthe defense lawyer for staff sergeant bale came out swinging saying military prosecutors are not cooperating in the case of the shooting deaths of 17 civilians in afghanistan. in a very strongly worded press release and press conference brown said they have not been given accesses to witnesses of the shootings. >> that's what's really, really frustrating. our staff on the ground is really upset with this promise they made to us which we normally trust these promises and we have to trust these promises, and we've been misled greatly, and these witnesses are now, who knows where, and people just disappear into the countryside in afghanistan.
4:16 pm
>> also saying the military request adamantal health board to valleyate staff sergeant bales pap short while ago we talked to one of the few foreign journalist whose visited with the witness and the victims that night and got their version and spoke to the guards who interacted with staff sergeant bales. in afghanistan and i asked how hard it was to actually gain access to these witnesses. >> well, just a few moments ago i spoke to president hammede karzai offices. they strongly defended saying they had no word. if that's the case, he's more than welcome to come and speak with the witnesses and the families of the actual victims. but from someone who has
4:17 pm
actually been to the villages and spoken to the wounded, these people are desperate to get their story out. they want justice to be served. so i don't think that they're actually afraid of coming out and speaking about what's actually happened to them. they have heartfelt stories. the majority of people i spoke to were children. it's always difficult to assess whether a child witness is giving the account they actually saw or whether they're traumatized. i felt their accounts were heartfelt and desperate for their story to come out. >> what did they tell you? some of 9 specific what's they told you happened that night? horrific accounts. one woman told me her husband was shot in the head and she dragged him into his house and had his brain in her hands. deeply dramatic stories they were telling me. also she told me there were 15 to 20 americans standing in her
4:18 pm
yard ushering her to get back inside her house. these are difficult, very intense claims she's making. that don't really match up to the other claims that some of the children told me. they told me one american entered the home and one american shot their family members. a lot of disparities in the stories. it's difficult to know who, what or when. >> i know had you a chance to speak with some of those afghan guards at base. i'm curious what they told you. at this point u.s. officials told cnn they are alleging that sergeant bales left the base, killed some people, returned to the base, told some people that he had killed afghans and then went back out. are you hearing at all anything about what he might have said when he went back to the base in between the alleged shooting rampages?
4:19 pm
>> no. i didn't actually hear that. the guards didn't say they saw him come back to the base at 1:30 a.m. in the base another hour. another guard saw him leave the base at 2:30 a.m. both times apparently the american forces have been informed that one of their soldiers had come into the base and an hour later had been informed again someone had left the base. and by the time they pulled a search party together and decided to go out looking for him, around 4:00, one of the afghan guards noticed the american soldier coming back towards the base, at which point they informed the forces and they went out and collected the man and they told the afghan guards not to shoot. that this was the soldier they were looking for. but exactly what he said when he came back to the base is unclear as far as i'm concerned. >> and from talking to those guards, did they have any information to you as to how sergeant bales behaved? was he distraught?
4:20 pm
acting normally? was there blood on him or gunshot residue, were you able to get any thoughts on that? >> i asked a lot about that. the first guy told me when he arrived at the base at 1:30 in the morning he had his weapons with him and was trying to rush into the base. the afghan guard apparently cocked up his gun and said to him, where are you going and where have you been? he responded to him in the local die lex of pashtuan and said hello and he rushed into the base. the guards saw him leave at 2:30, again says he rushed out, and said hello and, but continued to walk out. then when he returned at 4:00 in the morning, he apparently walked up to the forces, u.s. forces who were waiting for him at the front of the base, put down his weapons, put his hands up and handed himself over. it was then completely strip certained apparently and brought
4:21 pm
into the base in his underwear. that's what the afghan guards claim. >> all right. thank you very much. some truly amazing reporting there from afghanistan on sergeant bales. thanks again. and now a dramatic story. this story is -- i'm obsessed with this story. like a real-life spy novel and it's happening in china. more details coming out about the mysterious death of a businessman with links to britain's spy agency and to powerful chinese politicians. now, the u.k. government is asking china to reopen the investigation into how neil haywood died last year. said it was alcohol. now apparently it could be poison. they're asking this, because this relationship with the disgraced chinese communist party official has come to light. an official whose situation has had something, there could be a coup in china. the drama is throwing chinese politics into turmoil, captivated the country and shown a spotlight on the city of
4:22 pm
chongquing. >> reporter: the streets of chongquing? southwestern china. more than 30 billion people and a story shrouded with mystery. we're following this tale of intrigue, betrayal and suspicions of foul play that has now spread as far as britain and brawn in the u.k.'s spy agency mi-6. first stop for us, the british consulate. >> hello? >> yes. hello. i was wanting to know if the consular official was in at the moment? . >> reporter: prarps here answers about what happened to neal haywood, helping broker deals, found in a chongquing hotel room last november. the british media reports chinese officials told the british embassy he drank himself to death. the same people saying his body was cremated without an autopsy. now haywood's death is being
4:23 pm
linked to the sack of a rising star of the communist party. britain wants china to investigate. >> just come out of discussion with the consular officials behind those doors who say because there is an investigation now pending, they're very much downed by confidentiality and there's simply no more they can say. >> british companies network and do deals. it's the chongquing british chamber of congress mixing drinks. tonight the talk is not just about money lost and won but the death of neal haywood. >> do you think anyone really thinks they know the truth? >> i think everybody thinks they know the truth. >> truth is behind the truth. >> yes. >> there are so many whispers about neal paywahayward, well k in china. married here and did business here for years and a company set up in china formed by former
4:24 pm
members mp mi-6, the british spy agency and also came into contact with the former calm mist party chief of chongquing and that placed neal hayward at political drama that absolutely captivated china. only now is it emerging hayward and the family was linked. those you talked to here heard the rumors. >> they said that -- the guy was drunk. bu the guy never drank alcohol. never touched alcohol. so -- and i think the guy's wife was -- was still -- >> reporter: she was party chief after his hand-picked police chief sought refuge in a u.s. consulate fearing for safety. and reports of diplomatic sources now say the cops split, after raising suspicions with his boss that hayward had been
4:25 pm
poisoned. fashioning himself as a greater than red communist hard man the son of a party hero adopting revolutionary songs and slogans, crack down on criminal gangs and corruption and made enemies. a source close told cnn the family rejects all the allegations against him. they say one day they hope to be free to tell their side of the story. right now, with neal hayward dead and his wife banished and out of sight, whatever truth there is remains hidden in the mist and haze of chongquing. stan grant, cnn, chongquing.

4:33 pm
tension and suspicions that still exist in america. i'm soledad o'brien. people from across this nation are here in our audience tonight to talk about this case and the questions that it raises. questions that cut to the heart of a country that promises liberty and justice for all. let's take a look at some of the evidence that we do know. you have talked to a young woman named dede, trayvon martin's girlfriend. >> well, she heard was not him coming to identify himself as any neighborhood association captain or anything like that. he said what are you doing around here? as to suggest that he didn't have a right to be here. >> how many people in this room, you don't have to tell me how you decided, but how many people have already formed an opinion on george zimmerman's innocence or guilt? raise your hand. george zimmerman, if you can, paint a psychological profile of him from what we know. >> what concerns me about george zimmerman and this is the big moral flaw that i see that i
4:34 pm
find really concerning. it's that that man who had a license to carry a gun chose to bring that gun to a job where he was not permitted to have it. and that is no small thing n. that is not a soft line in the sand. a moralleaped over. >> did he do anything right that night? >> nothing right nept woke up and began to stock. through his paranoia, looking to -- a self-appointed watchman. >> david mattingly is in sanford, florida tonight. david, good to see you. looking at soledad's report. you saw the show of hands. seems like most people made up their minds on this. it's become an issue of people feeling passionately about. is that the case down in sanford, too? >> reporter: sanford, florida, is no different from anywhere else in the country where it comes to people making a
4:35 pm
judgment about what happened in this case. what is different, because this case happened right here in sanford it opened up what appears to be very deep animosity within the african-american community towards law enforcement in this city. we've been to meetings, heard emeshal testimony from people who feel they have not been treated fairly by police in this city. even beyond this case, this city is going to have a lot of work to do in addressing this rift that exists here, and has been exposed by this case. they've got a lot of decisions to make about how they're going to move forward from here. >> one thing i was looking at this week. spike lee tweeted out achb address what he thought was george zimmerman's home. which was disturbing on a lot of levels, and then it turned out george zimmerman didn't even live there. what happened to the people who did live in that house? >> reporter: well, this house belonged to a couple, in their 70s. they did have a son there who lived there at one time whose
4:36 pm
middle name was george and last name zimmerman but it wasn't the right guy or right address. when spike lee retweeted this address out there, this tub started getting a lot of attention from the media, menacing letter, menacing phone calls. they were worried about their safety. so they moved into a hotel. just left their house behind. well, they did get in touch with spike lee. got an attorney. they reached -- received an apology from the star. they also were able to negotiate a monetary agreement there so if this -- out of this little bit, out of this entire tragedy, there's probably two people tonight who are happy with where they're sitting right now. >> david, somebody described where you are as literally, it's become a tinderbox. is that true? or too strong of a word? people can feel passionately, but that's different than being angry, or violent? >> reporter: well, the city has been very concerned about that for weeks now. with so much national attention here, with emotions raised so high.
4:37 pm
in fact, tomorrow we're going to see another march by the naacp coming right here to this location, to the police station here behind me. the city has long been concerned about that's we've seen people on both sides of this issue appealing for calm, appealing for patience, but continuing to press the case. you're going to hear a lot of people on this location tomorrow that are dedicated, that are emotional, and they're going to continue to press their case, if they believe that george zimmerman should be arrested. right now, everyone waiting to see what the state of florida, what the justice department does with their own investigations. >> david, thank very much. from sanford tonight. and as you saw, soledad o'brien that a special report tonight, "beyond trayvon: race and justice in america" starts at the top of the hour right here on cnn. another controversial shooting. police in pasadena shot and killed an unarmed teen under arrest, the person who called 911. that story next. new details about osama bin laden's life on the run. his wife talking to
