good morning to our viewers in the west. it's thursday, august 24th, 2017 and welcome back to cbs this morning. there has been a big old blunder this morning involving the winning powerball ticket. that's right. the massachusetts state lottery originally announced the wrong location for where the ticket that was worth $758 million was sold. but does it effect the winner? we'll explain. plus hillary clinton campaign manager and mitt romney's campaign manager are here in studio 57 working together to stop election cyberattacks but first here's today's eye opener at 8:00. >> massachusetts lottery officials admit a big mistake
8:01 am

16, 23, 26, and the powerball number was 4. >> charlie rose is off. he didn't win. >> had i won i still would have come in. >> very nice of you to say. >> charlie is still off. massachusetts lottery officials say they gave the wrong location where a winning powerball ticket was sold. they told us it came from watertown, massachusetts but now officials say it was sold by the pride station store. that is actually 75 west of watertown. just one ticket matched the numbers. 6, 7, 16, 23, 26 and the powerball number of -- gayle. >> 4. >> the jackpot is worth $758.7 million. she is outside the handy variety that thought it had the big winner. good morning.
8:03 am
i bet there's a lot of people today. >> good morning, you can imagine it's spreading quickly. what we're not the winners? what lottery officials got it wrong? that is the case but this ticket was the biggest jackpot for a single winner. the pay out for that 1.6 billion back in january of 26 that had to be split among three people so that's why this one is very significant when you think about one person or one ticket winning all of this money. now massachusetts lottery winners cannot stay anonymous but they can claim their winnings through a trust. the winner has one year to claim the prize and the store that sold the lucky ticket will get $50,000. now while the jackpot was nearly $759 million most winners take the lump sum option which would pay out about 480 million before taxes and that amount would be
8:04 am
taxed about 40%. now let's just have a little fun with it. this is patriots country. this is for you. the super bowl champion. keep that in mind. if the winner were to take that $480 million lump sum even after taxes, they would be able to purchase every single ticket to the next super bowl. >> all right which we all know will involve the patriots, right? >> we'll see about that. >> we'll see about that. >> the real store didn't know they won until cbs this morning called them and said hey guess what you're twiner. can you imagine? i hope it's a group of people that won. if you're the one person holding the ticket you're saying gayle stop talking. but i hope it's a group that can split the money and how did you sleep last night if you're holding the winning ticket? >> i hold laywers say if you have the discipline don't come forward for many months. get your affairs in order. >> i don't think i could do
8:05 am
that. >> it's like a hot ticket in your hand. >> and finding relatives you didn't know you had. out of the woodwork. >> lots of new friends. >> tropical storm harvey is expected to strengthen into a hurricane before making land fall in texas. future radar shows how much of the state that storm will impact. look at that. that's a big one. it could make land fall late friday or early saturday. hurricane warnings are in place along most of the texas coast. the latest forecast now shows the storm surge could reach 9 feet. harvey is forecast to sit over texas for days. some places could see more than 2 feet of rain. it could bring sustained winds of more than 100 miles per hour. >> president trump has been advised to wait if he plans to pardon joe aprio. he faces six months in jail for ignoring a judges order to defend traffic stops targeting undocumented immigrants.

8:15 am
just happened to be the unlucky victim here. >> how it started may not have started that way. it may have started out as an american issue and then resulted in a black american tragedy. >> your son was a world traveller and clearly comfortable traveling around the world. >> correct. more comfortable overseas than in the united states. >> what do you mean? >> he just felt it was safer in europe and overseas in general. he said, you know, with the climate with african american males in the u.s. that he just felt more comfortable overseas. >> isn't that ironic that he could say to you i feel more comfortable in another country other than my own and ends up losing his life in another country for what reason we still don't know exactly. >> exactly. >> 9 suspects face charges of voluntary manslaughter for the beating that happened shortly after attackers chased him out of the bar. >> looked at the tape from that
8:16 am
night and you have chosen not to. >> right. >> because. >> i want to keep his memory alive. i don't want to introduce any negativity into my spirit and i want to remember him as the go lucky internet lucky energetic fun loving person. i miss that about him. his energy, his hug, his laugh, his loud laugh, his smile. just everything. >> phil. >> he just brightens up the room. his competitiveness. whenever a sporting event came on, bocking, soccer, he loved it. i'm going to miss that. >> have your friends been helpful to get you through? >> the whole family is feeling

8:18 am
would raise someone to do such an evil thing to another human being and then the holy spirit just spoke to me and said, you know what, it's bigger than that. it's so much bigger than that. because the world that we live in today, our leaders sit back and they just almost condone the type of behavior. so they don condemn it. and by their silence they promote it so i think in order for us to move forward we're going to have to do better in general. >> what is it that you're still seeking? what is it that you still want? >> we want justice. >> justice would mean what? >> to have everyone involved to be locked up and hopefully for a very long time. >> now the family hired a lawyer. they say they plan to be there in greece to represent their son when the case goes to trial.

8:35 am
primary with newt gingrich and rick santorum those were resources we couldn't use. >> why didn't you make a big to do about it at the time? >> it wasn't going to move the ball down the field in winning the republican nomination. we talked about it after the election and so it just didn't get as much coverage. right now there is a lot of campaigns, 2018, that will go through similar challenges and threats. they don't want to talk about it. campaigns want to talk about the issues they are running on, not cyber security hacks. >> you know, we use these devices to do our banking in many cases, trust our health records, but the election is about trust, national trust. some countries i know astonia you can vote online. do you think we can get to a place in america where people can vote with this kind of ease? >> the technology will dictate that. trust is key.
8:36 am
this threat is real. countries and intelligence services are going to attack our candidates and election officials. we have seen the proof of concept on this. if we don't deal with it in a bipartisan way and come together and say an attack on one is an attack on all, that trust will erode and we can't allow these countries to become involved in our elections the way say a superpack could. >> how would you describe how cyber hacking hurt the hillary clinton campaign? >> first of all, it's really important to recognize hillary's campaign was probably most prominent example but this has been happening. what was different and the way the threat has evolved is they are steeling information and putting it out into the press. we want candidates to get out there and talk about the issues. we want them to be heard. we want the a get the full debate. if we allow foreign countries to steal information and push it out there we are not going to have the debate and let foreign
8:37 am
countries decide what we are talking about. >> what concerns you most when you look at future elections? >> obviously, it is a bipartisan problem. i worry not as much about the next presidential campaign in 2020. i worry about that rising star. you can see a barack obama or a george w. bush coming a mile away. if some hacker were to misconstrue some exchange you can change the course of history. so that really concerns me. >> what do you ultimately hope to accomplish aside from a white paper on a shelf? >> exactly. we want to do something that is tangible, that actually helps kpa campaigns. one thing we are working on is putting together a document that can be shared and used by republican campaigns and democrat campaigns, a play book of best practices from a cyber security standpoint. especially down ballot campaigns in the movies are portrayed as

8:40 am
