made just for kids. coats and backpacks said to withstand machine gun fire. but should we be dressing 4 year olds in gear fit for a s.w.a.t. team? office jackpot, $1 million in lotto winnings. but this worker opted out. but tonight, the shocking twist that turned her luck around. and the "breaking bad" series finale. >> i need to report a breaking and entering into my automobile. >> will there be a spoiler alert? >> we'll all know. >> keep it right here,

>> good to be with you, thank you for staying with us tonight. for most parents, school shopping is all about the jumbo pack of crayolas.

but in the wake of sandy hook and aurora, some parents are adding bullet proof coats and backpacks to the shopping list. as for the company offering such pint-sized armor, is it a cynical prey on parental fear or a legitimate form of protection? by we go inside the business of bullet proofing america's kids. >> this is superwoman's cape. >> reporter: ordinary, except for this brand-new backpack. >> what does it do? >> protects me. >> reporter: because it's bullet proof. despite the pretty patterns adorning it, this backpack offers military grade protection. >> it's kind of heavy. >> reporter: if you think he might be a little paranoid, just consider where he lives. aurora, colorado, site of the horrific movie theatre shooting last july. you think about the fact that your wife and daughter could have been in there when the shooting happened. >> i absolutely do.

>> reporter: he's among a weave of parents willing to try this extreme and controversial measure to protect their children at school. >> so if they were to come to your classroom with any gun, you put this on and this would stop the bullets. >> reporter: bullet proof clothing, is that really necessary? >> it felt like this was the easiest thing i could do to keep my arm around her when i couldn't keep my arm around her. >> reporter: that anxiety has led to an emerging market. for something most americans would have never thought necessary -- bullet proof clothing for children. from jackets to shifrts, to backpacks like jalia's. >> it's flexible, lightweight. >> reporter: the coo of ess which distributes the three-pound backpack little jilia will wear to school. >> if you're on a cruise, they

give you a life vest. we think this is one more safety step. >> this is insane. i'm not going to treat it like a reasonable or realistic idea. >> reporter: but a gun control advocate and parent himself sees this as a disturbing sign of how gun violence acceptance is becoming the norm. >> children should be under the same type of threat of active combat as law enforcement and soldiers, or we can take basic steps to make sure that the shooting never starts in the first place. >> reporter: the company gets its backpacks from this man. miguel caballero, a master in the science of stopping bullets. we were at his factory in bogota, colombia. he is to confident in his products, he has a long standing, if bizarre tradition at the fact vi for new ories fo employees. so you're going to shoot him? and you're okay with that?

today his 260 employees are hard at work making bullet proof gear for the red cross, the paraguayan police and now the company's newest clients, american children. he says the idea came on a fateful day just three months ago, the day of the shooting at sandy hook elementary in newtown, connecticut. he says he started receiving requests from anxious american parents within days of the shooting. is. >> i received from the parents. they say i am afraid to send my child to the school. >> reporter: what do you say to those people who think that children just should not be wearing bullet-proof clothing and being exposed to this so early? >> if you need, you will use. if you don't need, you don't have to use. it is the best way to prevent any accident with your child. >> they have a profit motive. i understand that. they're businessmen. >> reporter: everett says patients should be skeptical of

these products and how effective they really are. >> if a guy walks in there with an ar-15 and multiple 30-round magazines and unloads more than 150 rounds in less than five minutes, how many kids are going to be saved by bullet proof clothing in that instance? >> caballero says the quality of his products speak for themselves. he's putting four shots from this .9 millimeter glock straight into the backpack. >> we don't have any penetration. >> can you put this back in the backpack and the child reuse this? with that, four more shots. >> we now have eight total shots into this backpack. there is nothing on this side of the plate which is actually against the child's body. if the child is actually wearing this backpack on their back, what would they feel? >> they would feel like a punch. >> reporter: the very first shipment of 150 units is on its way to the united states. and the line officially launched

here last week. but everett says the fact that these products even exist demonstrates that we have lost sight of the real issue. >> do you want to live in a country where your child has to go to school on a daily basis wearing bullet-proof clothing because at any given moment they could be attacked and killed by someone who is homicidal and who has gained easy access to military-style fire power? i would ask them, is that your vision or of america? or does that to you sound like a third world country. >> that piece is important. this is the important piece. >> reporter: but for this father, that threat exists. the early reviews from jilia are mixed. >> is it comfortable? >> it's heavy and it smells. >>. >> reporter: what do you like about this? >> that it has hearts. >> reporter: do you think everything went according to

plan? >> she seemed to embrace it and understand that her safety is important. >> reporter: he hasn't been near the movie theatre since the shooting. but now that jalia can potentially protect herself with the backpack, they might go to the movies again. >> reporter: is it crazy for your daughter to have to maneuver with bullets flying around? we're talking about this. >> it's horrifying. crazy doesn't even describe it. it's something that i hate that i even have to imagine. but it's something that i realize is reality with today. >> reporter: for "nightline" in aurora, colorado. >> thanks for that. coming up next, what would the folks in your office do if everyone got in on a winning lottery pool but you? conservative. very logical thinker. (laughs)

you heard the story about co-workers who go to court over lottery winnings or hel hath no fury like the guy left out of the office pool. this is the kind of story that can make you re-evaluate the common decency of your cubicle mates, he mates. >> reporter: the glory of instant wealth. the dream of holding one of those larger than life checks.

even with the lottery odds against us, millions of people can't stop dreaming that impossible dream. >> you're in the $10 pool? all right. >> reporter: or thinking they might actually better their chances by banding together and playing in to an office lottery pool. that's what these happy co-workers did at keller williams reality in plantation, florida. i hope you got the ticks, good luck. >> reporter: they struck it big winning the powerball. this is where the dream come true turned into a potential nightmare. office coordinator jennifer muldiando was out of cash and decided to sit this one out. >> i thought it wasn't the smartest thing to do, spend my money on lotto when i have a lot of other things that need to be accounted for. >> reporter: she was the new face in the office, just hired. hadn't even gotten her first paycheck. >> this is my third week. >> reporter: laurie finkelstein even offered to spot jennifer

the cash and she still said no. >> i said to her, quote, jen, if you don't play, we're going to win. >> you're welcome. >> reporter: but when the numbers rolled by on saturday night, one of the tickets everyone else pitched in on matched five numbers. >> round it out tonight with the number 31. >> reporter: enough to win the group $1 million. it looked like it was tough luck for jennifer. >> i was upset with myself that already i was new and now this would put me on the outside even further. >> reporter: and if recent history is a guide, wh enyou misoffice politics and a winning ticket, things can get messy. back in february, seven indianapolis hair stylists took their co-worker to court of they said she claimed a $9 million winning ticket for herself. then there's the case of a construction worker from new jersey. a couple years back, he bought the tickets for his workers.

but when he stopped showing up for work, they found out they had won a $38 million jackpot. he claimed he bought the winning ticket on his own. the co-workers sued for their fair share and won. these overnight riches can ruin office relationships in a flash. the lucky seven took home one of the biggest jackpots in u.s. history, $20 million a piece. but the aftermath was nothing like those happy lotto ads. some hospital colleagues who joined is the pool in the past thought they should have shared the cash and took the co-workers to court. >> that caught us all off-guard. it was a standing joke, okay, who sued the lucky seven today. >> reporter: they successfully fought off the challenges, but all those hard feelings made for some ugly days at work. >> it's another set of problems bigger than what you may have had in your life before. >> i think people that work together and are friendly just

don't think maybe ahead of time of what could go wrong. >> things never got uncomfortable, even though she decided to pass on the office pool, she was lucky enough to have these generous colleagues willing to count her in. 12 of them will take home $83,000 a piece after taxes, and they've all decided to give her a portion of their winnings. but wouldn't say exactly how much. >> a gracious amount. >> but the head of the new jersey lottery has some advice for anyone joining a similar office pool. sign a basic contract outlining the rules and find a trustworthy, well organized leader. >> if you have in writing who are the members of the pool and how much money they' put in. if you have copies of the tickets before the draw, if you know where the tickets were purchased and when, you've got an ironclad case. >> reporter: that leader has to promise not to buy any personal tickets outside the pool unless they let others know first. set a deadline for collecting

cash. figure out who holds the tickets and where, and decide in advance what to do if a co-worker can't contribute that week. good advice for future lotto pools a the real estate office in florida where they already decided how they'll spend the money. >> down payment on a home. >> donate some to charity. >> buy a new car. >> i'm going to disneyworld. >> and jen says next time she's definitely in from the start. with the kind of luck they have here, so am i. i'm going to be in your next pool. so here's my $20, and i'm leaving you my card with all of my contact information. >> does the heart good. thanks, steve. coming up next, spoiler alert, how "breaking bad's" final season could be ruined, thanks to a real life crook.

come back on the air. the wait for amc's "mad men" it's almost over. after a 10-month hiatus, it's back on april 7. need a "game of thrones" fix? >> your brother is a dead man. >> it also took a 10-month break, but the hbo fantasy thriller is back on this sunday. >> chemistry is the study of matter. >> reporter: there is, however, no cult following like the colt of "breaking bad." >> i am not in danger. i am the danger. >> reporter: the amc hit that draws in nearly 3 million viewers a week is in its fifth and final season. but fans may be clamoring for a much anticipated series finale that is in jeopardy. that's brian cranston playing a science teacher turned meth maker. >> can i get your name please, sir? >> bryan, b-r-y-a-n.

cranston. >> reporter: in just-released 911 tapes. >> how may i help you? >> i need to report a breaking and entering into my automobile. >> reporter: cranston tells new mexico police on march 1, he parked his car not far from where the hit amc drama is filled. a man smasheds his window and stole a bag. in it, an ipad with the script for that show. that script is still missing. it's happened before when thieves swiped samuel l. jackson's movie for "the avengers" they shopped it around, hoping for a quick payday but no one was willing to pay the price. but hollywood watchers say tv shows are most susceptible to leaked scripts. >> reporter: t >> a mu view you could shoot

three to five months then it's done. there are so many possible ways that stories can get leaked. i'm shocked it doesn't happen more often than it dutz. >> reporter: charles baker who plays skinny pete has gone public with a plea on tmz, telling the thief, you've already made a choice to steal from a person who is loved by millions of people. don't make it worse by betraying the rest and cast and crew and fellow fans of the show. you have a choice to be a better person than that. as for how the show will handle the drama behind the drama, it may drive fans' intense interest even more. >> it's a double edged sword. you want people to be craving this information. on the other hand, some of that rabid curiosity can become a bit of a nuisance. >> say my name. >> reporter: so will there be a spoiler alert for one of the hottest shows in hollywood? stay tuned. for ""nightline" i'm cecili cecilia vega in new york. >> love that show.

time now for tonight's "closing arguments." today, president obama discussed an immigration reform bill expects to hit the senate floor.t the >> the good news is it seems like they're actually making progress. this group of four democrats and four republicans in the senate have been working hard, very diligently to come up with a comprehensive immigration reform bill that meets the basic principles that i think are required for a strong bill. i'm actually optimistic that when they get back, they will introduce a bill. i'm not going to presuppose that they don't. >> one of the bill's key points will likely be the so-called path to citizenship. what do you think? should the undocumented millions living in the united states now be granted an opportunity to become documented americans without going home? waiting in line? you can weigh in on the "nightline" facebook page or tweet us @nightline or at bill weir@abc
