♪ >> i don't care what anyone says. prancersize rocks. that does it for us. plus the suspected changed his plea today. the parent of one of the victims are out front. it's shocking new information about tornado that touched down in oklahoma. we'll tell you how big it really was. these images are stunning. let's go out front. good evening, everyone. i'm aaron burnett. the boston bombing suspect

speaks for the first time since his arrest. we're hearing directly from sar knee yef, his voice. they're giving me rice and chicken. everything is fine. >> now, she told him he needs to be strong. here is what he said. >> everything is good. don't say anything, mom. >> phil black is in moscow for us. how did his parents -- we can see his mother holding back looked like an iphone or some sort of similar device up. how did they react to hearing their son's voice for the first time? >> reporter: aaron, for them, it was very emotional. it was the first time they have spoken to him, had any contact of the tamerlan and dzhokhar.

they said it took all their effort not to scream, not to yell over the course of that conversation. but they believed it was their job to support him. help him feel better. in the end, over the course of the conversation, it was really dzhokhar who made them feel better, comforted them. >> i felt like he would scream, what's going on, you know, what's going on? he would ask the world, what's going on? but momma, instead it was just calming me down. you know what i mean? he was trying to calm me down. momma, you don't worry about anything. >> reporter: they said dzhokhar tried to reassure them telling them he got good medical treatment. he told them that the injuries to his face and neck are almost healed around his on on going medical concern is a serious

problem with one of his hands. erin? >> it's obviously flies in the face of what his parents had said originally, that he was being treated horribly and all these other allegations they made. that brings know this question, phil. you can't overlook the fact that these parents still deny that their sons had noig do with this and they're the ones who are putting this tape out there. do you know why? what's their goal? >> reporter: it's typical to know for certain. this family, these parents were very erratic, often contra drikatory. we know they were unhappy with lot of coverage at that time. in the weeks since, they have gone underground. they've been moving f deliberately come out and tried to present a more positive image of themselves, their family and particularly their sons. they speak throughout these interviews what good men their sons were and they do not believe they were capable of this crime. they had tremendous sympathy of

those that were hurt and killed in the boston attack. they don't think their sons were responsible for it. they believe they are the victims of some sort of elaborate setup. >> thank you very much reporting live tonight from moscow. of the homeland security committee. he joins us tonight. dzhokhar told his mother everything is fine. she not in pain. he is eating food. do you know anything more about his physical condition? obviously when he was first capture and put in jail, he wasn't able to talk. >> i think he's recovered fully. he's being treated very humanely, as he mentioned himself, he's given food and he's being taken care of. the question right now, this recording by the parents to release a video which i saw, appears to be an attempt to garner lot of sympathy and support financially for the family.

what i find disturbing about the whole thing when i watched it was that we kind of lose sight of who the victims were in this case, are in in case. the 260-plus wounded that day. europe and boston and you saw it. the three who were killed, including the 8-year-old boy who was brew dutally killed. we can't lose sight of the fact about what this guy did, the brothers did that day. and what he confessed to doing when he wrote down that note that we saw where he was captured in the boat. in the boat he talked about all the sort of radicalization process he has gone through, how he wanted to join his brother in paradise and this was retribution for wars in afghanistan. >> the mother, after she released the tape we just heard and seen the video, she said i know that my kids didn't do it. now she said that before and people had said, look, this is a

deranged person, at the least. you've said before, though, you think she could have played a specific role in the radicalization of her son. do you still think it's possible she was specifically involved? >> you know, we don't know the answer, but i think it's very possible that she may have. i'm very stunned, but it's more interesting, i guess, the idea that they're in a complete state of denial publicly saying that their son was innocent, both of their sons were innocent, had nothing to do with these bombings and looks to me like some sort of enzy if you will. and i think it's obviously very disturbing, because i do think the mother and the father played a floel this radicalization. >> the mother and the father.

now, let me ask you this then, according to his mother, dzhokhar said she getting money. i want to ask you about this. lot of people will be shocked. someone opened a bank account for him. gotten about $1,000 so far. do you know whether that's true or anything where that money is coming from? >> i don't know where it's coming from, but i do believe it's factually accurate that he is receiving money in a bank account, razz the parents. and you know, they're really exploiting this tragedy and these killings and wounding 260 people in boston to make money off. i just find it very offensive that they're making money off of that tragic day in boston during the marathon. >> i want to ask you also about another person that we have all been so fascinated by and then it seemed to go kbie quite yet. tamerlan tsarnaev's widow. katherine russell is her name. she is, quote, right in the middle of this. we know she has been interviewed

by the fbi. lived in the very small apartment with the brothers. sources say she placed a call to her husband when she saw pictures identifying him in the suspect in the bombing. she called her husband. obviously the inference that she may have warned him, but we don't know. she hasn't been arrested. do you think that's going to remain the case and that that's right? >> you know, i think, again, former federal prosecutor, going after spouses is very dicey f you will. you have to be careful how you proceed and you have to be right about what you're doing. i think in this case, you know, clearly they live in 800 square foot apartment, pressure cookers sitting around the apartment. again, it's hard for me not to believe that she didn't know and wasn't complicit in this or certainly had knowledge of the fact of what her husband had done. and so -- but i think they're being careful with her, trying to get as muched evidence as they can before they close in on her.

i believe she's in the sights. >> thank you. the suspect in the colorado movie massacre was aplowed to plead not by reason of insanity. the parents of one of the victims are out front next. plus another home evacuated because a giant sinkhole opened up beneath it. why this problem can be more massive than we thought. and chris christie, set to appoint a new senator. the spot is democratic. he can name anyone he wants. who she says should get the job. and the oklahoma tornado set a record. how big was it? ♪ ♪ chances are, you're not made of money, so don't overpay for boat insurance.

insanity plea. a judge today accepted a not guilty plea from james holmes. his defense is that he was insane. she now 25 years old. he is accused of slaughtering 12, wounding 58 n. july 20th massacre last year. question tonight, this could be crucial for what happens to him, death penalty or life in jail or life in something much better? does his insanity plea add up? sandy and lonnie phillips are out front. their daughter jessica was there and was killed in the shooting. thanks very much to both of you. sandy, i know that everyday this is something that you're reliving and that as this trial drags on, it has to be something that does not go away. what was your reaction to the judge's decision to accept that insanity plea today? >> actually we were expecting it. we've had very good relationship with the d.a. and the assistant d.a. in denver, who keep the families very aware of what's going on and what could happen

and what might happen. and i don't think any of us were surprised by the tactic that they took, unfortunately. >> as you say unfortunately. lonnie, i spoke to tom teaves. his son alex was murdered that night as well in the shooting. we talked about this shooting of whether james holmes would be insane. he thought there's no way he is insane he planned this in advance and knew the reprecushions of what he was going to do. you know tom well, too. i wanted to play for you what he had to say and then get your reaction. >> if you're insane, you don't think what you're doing is wrong. if you don't think what you're doing is wrong, then you don't have any need to create a diversion that will keep the first responders from stopping you and/or capturing you. and also, one of the things they that put in there is that he had on his dating site, because he had two dating sites that said come visit me in jail. if you don't think it's wrong,

you probably don't think you're going to jail. >> lonnie, what's your feeling? >> tom is a very emotional as i am about this and trying to keep controlled and think this through. neither one of us think that he is the term crazy or mentally ill. he was seeing a psychiatrist. he had planned this too meticulously for it to be anything else than to promote himself. how it plays out in court really doesn't matter that much to sandy and i, as long as she not freed and i don't think that will ever happen. where he spends the rest of his life or whatever they decide to do with him is really no matter to us. we have kind of written him out of our lives. he is a non-entity to us.

>> the only day we'll be in court is the day they sentence him. the only insanity involved here is the fact that he was able to get his hands on all those weapons and 6,000 rounds of ammunition with not so much as a background check. that's the true insanity here. >> for our society to allow that to happen without a background check, somebody with his history the fact that his parents knew he had a history, and allowed it to go on and to allow him to get his hands on those kinds of weapons is what i consider true insanity. >> in fact, i don't know if you know this, but the ar-15 that was used in aurora as well as in the newtown shootings -- >> yes -- >> had been banned until 2008. if that ban had stayed in effect and if our leaders in our government had done their jobs, neither one of those shootings would have been anywhere as near

as catastrophic as they turned out the be. >> i mean, those are -- just points, frustrated so many people in this country who support what you believe in and the background checks. sandy just said something, you'll be there on sentencing day. in terms of his sentencing -- lonnie said as long as she never seen again. this has to be something you struggle with. you lost a daughter who lost her life and her future, when you think about that tough choice of the death penalty or life in prison, where do you fall on that decision? >> i'd like to see him spend the rest of his life in jail. and i would like to see him be in the general population, which of course won't happen. but that would be perfection for me. but either way, i don't care if he gets the death sentence or not. it's just much quicker to have it over and done with if he's just sentenced to life.

>> july 20th will be the one-year anniversary. as i said, i know it's going to be everyday for you that you relive this and try to remember things about your daughter. when people hear her name and hear her name, jessica, what do you want them to remember about her? >> the joy that she brought to life. she lived very fully and enjoyed every moment and taught people around her to do the same. she's impacted a lot of lives in a very positive way, even though she is no longer here. but she lived large and she lived joyously and she lived with nothing but love in her heart for other people. and i was her biggest fan and she was my biggest fan and that's what i miss the most. >> thank you for sharing just a little bit. we appreciate it. our third story out front, sinkhole, that sinking feeling

another florida home evacuated after a huge sinkhole opened up underneath it. it was underneath the backyard pool. you see it here in winter park. now, thousands of american in florida nand many other states live on top of sinkholes are not aware of the risks. some are aware of danger, but others have no clue. >> reporter: neatly kept lawns, a quiet neighborhood in florida, but beneath the ground, there's a commotion going on. john furlough stepped in it, literally. >> i came over and as i was walking out here i stepped right here and my foot went down in the hole. >> reporter: it was a sinkhole, right underthe furlough's bedroom. so why on earth live at home with a sinkhole beneath it? >> we put everything into this house in the beginning. >> even our inheritance. we thought we would live and die here. we didn't have a plan b.

>> reporter: now they wait for an insurance settle to have money to fill the hole. 9239 sinkhole. down the street, 9191 sinkhole. several other properties on this street all dealing with sinkholes. there's a bit of consolation for the folks in this neighborhood, the sinkholes beneath their homes can be dealt with. the ground can be filled and the homes re-enforced. that wasn't the case on february 28th. the 911 call came in from seffner, florida, near tampa. >> the bedroom floor just collapsed and my brother-in-law is under the house. >> reporter: within hours the world was buzzing about a rare catastrophic collapsed sinkhole swallowed a young man lying in his bed. geologists say it works like this. a cavity slowly develops in the limestone bedrock. over thousands of years it widens, breeching the limestone surface. then the clay and sand above

collapse into the hole. and everything is swallowed up. while catastrophic collapse events are rare, sinkholes in florida are not. according to state insurance statistics between 2006 and 2009, there were nearly 12,000 claims in the state's most sinkhole-prone counties. this is in one of those counties. many of the people here are retirees to florida. >> we came from colorado. i didn't know how to spell sinkhole. >> reporter: now, they're living with one. sinkholes are just a part of florida's natural geology. they can open up just about anywhere in the state. fortunately they rarely have deadly consequences. erin? >> john, thank you very much. amazingly frightening when you think about how many people do not know their lives are at risk right now. still to come, the widest tornado ever recorded strikes the heartland of this country. so how and why did it get so

big? plus, why everyone should be putting on sunscreen, even if you have absolutely no intention of sunbathing. and why this photo of the woman in red has become a symbol of outrage and protest. tonight's shoutout, a new way to deliver a pizza. a dominos franchise in britten released a video of they call a domicopter. it's a concept for now. shoutout tonight goes to the brits for improving an american staple, pizza delivery. out front shoutout update, remember this picture we showed you taco bell employee licking a bunch of your taco shells. today they said they're firing the employee in the photo. they say they were never served

[ female announcer ] when people talk, great things can happen. so start a conversation with an advisor who's fully invested in you. wells fargo advisors. together we'll go far.

we start the second half of our show, stories where we focus on your reporting from the front lines. i want to begin with this story. an orthodox jewish high school in new york city outraged after 101 students and 8 shap rons were kicked off an air flight to atlanta. some of the students say they were treated unfairly because of their religion. southwest airlines owns air

trans. they would not turn off their cell phones after being asked to. when they failed to comply the entire group was kicked off. monday's flight at 137 seats. full. delayed 45 minutes because of the incident. airline expert jim tillman says it's unlikely that every student was being unruly. individual ticketholders, it's an unfair use of the airline's authority. iran supreme leader called on iranians to go and vote for the one of the eight approved candidates in the upcoming presidential election. it would not only be votes of confidence in the islamic republic but in authenticity in the election process. according to a reporter. the eight candidates were all there. many consider iran's nuclear negotiator a front-runner in the race. others say he is only considered that because we know his name in the west. we shall see. chris christie called for a

special election to replace frank lawsuiter burg. he died on sunday. christie said he would like the person to be as much like me as possible. you know what, governor, that's a tough thing to say. new jersey republican hasn't had a new jersey senate win in more than 40 years. a snu study found that using sunscreen daily protects against skin ageing. this is the first study to quantify sunscreen's anti-ageing power. it's not just whether you're going to the beach, it's in general life. walking down the street in your car, hundreds of adults under 55 were placed in two groups. those who applied regularly and those who applied it at their discretion. after 4 1/2 years those who used it daily did not age as quickly. save your money. he says people collectively

spend billions of dollars on products and crimes to stave off ageing, the main ingredient that actually does sit the sunscreen. it's been 670 days since the u.s. lost its top credit rating. what are we doing to get it back? apple one of the big losers, trade agency ruled today that several older apple products, ipads and iphones violate a samsung patent and can't be sold in the united states. rye yotds rocking a crucial american ally in the middle east. by far the biggest economy and most important country so far in terms of its strategic relationship to the united states to be rocked by these protests. new video tonight from istanbul. protests in turkey took to the streets to voice their opposition against prime minister. two proteers died and the turkish medical association said more than 3,000 have been injured and 26 tonight are in

serious or critical condition. this comes less than three weeks after turkey's leader appeared alongside president obama at the white house. he received a full secret service support. it borders iran, iraq and syria. ivan, i know he left the country on a four-day trip to north africa. he dismissed the demonstrations as a work of extreme elements. blamed twitter and called ate menace to society. the pictures, though, seem so much more significant than that. how are people reacting to the fact that he just left the country? >> reporter: actually it may have actually helped because his political style, his rhetoric is so confrontational and insulting, since he's gone his dep peuties apologized today an tried to calm the atmosphere a

little bit. it seems to have worked. it's 2:30 in the morning the crowd behind me, is much less agitated than it was last night. maybe because police helicopters aren't circling overhead and shining spotlight. and also because of the kinder tone. in the capital, he hasn't seen tear gas all day. saw protesters putting flowers on the police that had been firing tear gas and water cannons at people in previous days. maybe there's a message there to the government that a softly approach will calm people down, though we are hearing reports of violence in some of the eastern cities of turkey right now. erin? >> just makes me think of the lot of the country supported him. he won elections with close to 50% of the vote. went often in turkey people get a lot less. he appeared to have a mandate.

tripled the income of average turks. where are his supporters right now? >> reporter: well, it's an interesting question. he did get 50% of the vote in the last national election and he actually kind of issued a veiled threat. ky get my 50% out. i'm having a hard time keeping them in their homes, which raises fears of clashes between the supporters and opponents and even the specter of civil war. we went to the neighborhood that he grew up here in istanbul. it's a mile from where i'm standing. and there they are still hard core supporters of this man. they say he's the best thing that's ever happened to this country. they have very negative things to say about the demonstrators. we're waiting in our homes. we're ready to come out and fight for our prime minister if he asks us to come out. we come out with just one word. those are ominous warnings, not

the kind of thing that turkey probably want to see if it wants to continue growing economically in the years ahead. >> thank you very much reporting live as we said from istanbul tonight where people are still there at 2:30 in the morning. see if it continues to quiet down. we can now confirm what lot of people suspected, friday's oklahoma tornado was a record. the national weather service said today the twister was the widest tornado ever in the united states rej sterd. that's pretty amazing. it was 2.6 miles wide. it was also not just wide, it was fast. it was a rare ef-5, it's a measure of tornado intensity. over 200 i believe 10 miles an hour at its peak. tom foreman is at the wall. can you show us how this monster storm developed? it was wide. >> this is really unusual, erin. we talk lot about hyperbole.

this one deserves them. in your life time, you may only rarely see anything like this. this is the town up here in el reno, oklahoma. look at the town size right here, compared to the storm size overall. this was the path of the storm. it was on the ground for quite a while, 6:03 p.m. is when it formed way over here. moved this way. stayed there until 6:43 p.m. covered almost 16 mile. do the math there, you realize on any given area, it could have been grinding away for 2 minutes or more. as you mentioned, it was not only strong, well, well over 200 miles an hour, but quite wide. 2.6 miles across at its biggest area and ef-5. one more thing to note in all this, erin, at one point the weather officials say it went from a mile across to 2.6 miles across in less than a minute. so it was not only moving this way and grinding away, it was not only big, it was explosive in the way that it was reaching out and roping more people in.

erin? >> tom, please doents go any write. i want to bring in bill nigh the science guy. incredibly rare in a lot of ways. can you give some comparison on how huge that is relative to a typical tornado and what could have been made it so wide? >> more heat energy in the atmosphere. fundamentally if you think of a tornado as being a half mile or three quarters of a mile wide, this thing is about four times that. maybe little over four times that as wide. as a first approximation f it's four times as wide and looking at the same area, it would be 16 times as much energy. now, the problem is probably somewhat more complicated than that. it's on the order of two times ten, 20 times as much energy in the tornado. you guys appreciate it, saying this is a rare event, well, if this is the third tornado to go through very nearly this track

in the last say since 1999, the last 14, 15 years, maybe it's the beginning of something that's troublesome. so this is really something for everybody to consider. >> frightening trend. tom, what about this, this tornado went across the plains. 2.6 miles of damage across the plains. if it had gone through the center of a major city, oklahoma city, like the moore tornado did or -- what would happen if a storm that wide went through a major population center? >> the size of this, erin, spurred lot of weather folks around the country to consider that very idea. think about what bill just said the size of the whole vortex working. look at the comparison. if we were to move on from el reno and put that same storm over washington, d.c., look at this, this would be coming all the way across here. put it over the center here, it would hit the capitol, the

lincoln monument, and virtually all of downtown in one stroke. look at this, this is the island of manhattan right here. if you twist that storm and put it over the island, it can basically cover the entire island. that's how big this thing is. and we are fortunate in a way, as a nation, that generally these form in less populated areas. you've lived there, it's a terrible, terrible thing. the fatalities are awful. this is a measure of this storm. >> bill, you talk about how things have changed. so, and obviously i know this is a geography, all things that go into where these forms. if already we're seeing bigger ones and that's becoming a trend l there ever be a chance where these happen would change too? >> well, yeah. keep in mind that we had tornadoes in brooklyn last year. that's just extraordinary. and so you can't say that any one storm is associated with climate change. but all the climate models that we have so far indicate that storms, like this, will become

more powerful because there's more heat energy in the atmosphere. so as the air goes across these large sections of north america, dragging across the ground, it starts to tumble and counters the so-called tongue of air coming up from the gulf of the mexico and they apparently getted tipped on their side and create these extraordinary storms. now, if that starts to happen farther and farther east, this catastrophic scenario that you all just spelled out is something i would like to stroke my chin about. but in the short-term, what we can do is make sure that people in these areas have storm shelters or people often call them safe rooms. i much prefer the term storm rooms where you would wait out the storms. you'll notice this one was only about 45 minutes. so all you have to do is get in the safe place for less than an hour. and so sit possible that we could do something about it at a reasonable cost? >> thanks very much, bill, tom, appreciate it. still out front, a big

development in the murder trial of the blade runner, oscar pistorius. today. plus are working moms destroying education in america? that's what one governor said today that he thinks and he said it on camera. so you'll get to see it. and in florida, almost $600 million, just waiting around, somebody out there, this is your money. why have you not claimed it? i got this.

we are back with tonight's outer circle where we reach out to our sources around the world. tonight we'll go to south africa. oscar pistorius was in court for a pre-trial hearing. he's accused of premeditated murder. >> erin, well, one of oscar pistorius's family members, reeva steenkamp has been dead for almost four months. strangely and slad enough, that's longer than the time her and oscar spent dating. of course it's a relationship and a tragic ending that will not only define his life, but that of her family's as well. and of course, also, today oscar pistorius taking one more step in what will be a long, legal process. he appeared very briefly in a magistrate's kortd. proceedings were adjourned until august 19th, where it's expected

a trial date will be set. but also, again, ironically, sadly enough, august 19th is reeva steenkamp's birthday. she would have turned 30. blaming mom. actually, no, let's be more specific here, moms who have jobbed outside the home. mississippi governor, phil bryant, spoke his mind today. and as sometimes happens, that can cause a problem. a moderator asked him how america has become, quote so mediocre when it comes t education. here is what the governor thinks. >> i think parents both parents started working and the mom is in the workplace. it's not a bad thing. i don't want to get in trouble. i can just see -- i can see e-mails tomorrow. >> yeah. didn't have happen tomorrow. it happened today. the reaction has been pretty harsh. our contributors out front tonight. good to see both of you. what do you think?

working moms deserve the blame for the drop in educational quality in america? >> it's men who are much bigger part of the story. when you look at, you know, households with children right now, 25% of them will headed bay single mother. and you've got another 15% are family which is the mothers are earning more than the married father. so the issue is that if you look at the single mothers, most of them would prefer to have a husband who can help them care tri economic weight of the family. also lot of the cases with women outearning their husbands, the same would be true. we have seen happen in the last 30, 40 years is that men's relative economic position has really deteriorated, partly because they have higher drop outrates. >> you think that's what he was saying. when women made the decision, some women don't have a choice. >> women haven't had that choice. i don't know what he was saying, honestly. if you're going to be simp thet toik what he was saying, partly is this, there used to intense discrimination against women in the labor force.

when you have that intense discrimination what it meant is that lot of very smart women who could have done amazing things at the work force were at home with their kids, providing stimulation for their kids. they were oftentimes more likely to be teachers. college educated woman now has a ton of different opportunities not just to be a teacher at the local public school, right? clear tla will have an impact on educational quality. this is not about blaming anyone. if he was doing that, he was wrong to do so. these changes in family structure have an affect on children. >> lz, what do you think? >> you know, i've been covering education for a long time. went to graduate school to pursue education. i have to tell you that for me the reason why there's been a decline in education has nothing to do with working moms or stay at home dads. it has everything to do with the coach's focus on the importance of education. this is what i'm talking about. you know f you look at the number of dollars that we spend to keep someone incarcerated

versus number of dollars we spend for pre-k education, despite the fact we know that a child that has pre-k education may not end up in jail, you would begin to see what our focus really is on. during the height of the recession -- >> what about the issue of women specifically that women who now are working touds home is why education quality in america has dropped? >> well, i mean, this is all part of it. you know, they don't exist indpentd of each other. they're all connected. when you have 33 states during the height of the recession, ramping up the amount of dollars being spent for prisons and drop the amount of money spent on pre-k and higher education. decrease in education and more working moms and have more high school dropouts. you can't look at them individual factors. they're all connected. >> i see your point. finland, top rated country for education. 70% of mothers work outside the

home. there's clearly no kor ration there. that's why it seems to me all these arguments that people are trying to make, even the one you made, right, is a real stretch. >> here is the thing. look at finland, sweden france, two thirds of 15-year-olds live with both biological parents. it's actually 50% and declining rapidly. the experience of family destruction -- look, again, these single parents are not -- they don't want to be single most of the time. they would prefer if they were in stable relationships. what you see happen is this huge destruction of family life that's gone much further in the united states than other rich countries. that creates huge problems for kitds. >> everybody please weigh in on what you think. kitds. >> everybody please weigh in on what you think. ikitds. >> everybody please weigh in on what you think. dskitds. >> everybody please weigh in on what you think. . >> everybody please weigh in on what you think. every night we take a look outside the top store is. tonight the city of zererfield,

florida is the center of on may 18th, somebody, somebody walked into this public super market and bought a power ball ticket. the power ball ticket. and when the numbers were drawn down that night, that person had the only big winner. there are 13,000 residents of the city that could have gone into that public supermarket. and they began the most exciting guessing game on earth. why not? it is a $590 million ticket that somebody bought at that publix. it's the biggest single ticket in power ball history. i can't believe this. it will be if someone claims it. as strange as it sounds, nobody has claimed it. lot of people think off year to claim a lottery prize. you know what, that is just a falsity. falsehood. in florida, you have only 60 days to claim a lump-sum power ball payout. in this case, you have to pay uncle sam, $370 million is all you're going to get.

that would make you think differently about taxes. since the draw was on may 18th, that gives 43 days for the winner. that's not a lot of time. considering the winner has to travel four hours to the lottery head quarters in tallahassee to claim a prize of that size. if you're the wirn and miss the july 17th deadline, you'll lose a heck of a lot money. until november 14th you can claim a life time payout. you get 30 payments over 29 years. where is the funny now. out front next a warning for americans. we know it's your most important videoconference of the day hi! hi, buddy! that's why the free wifi and hot breakfast
