we know the three cities where those three tickets were sold, that much we do know, one of them printed right there, the publix supermarket in melbourne beach, florida. who bought it? >> that strange story out of california. what a prank that was. pretty cruel. we'll get into that. that gop debate was a hot one. donald trump and ted cruz neck and neck two weeks ahead of the first votes in iowa and they went at it last night. the others fighting to break out and abc's tom llamas was there in charleston for all of it. good morning, tom. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. what a night. the two front-runners wasted no time going at it. senator ted cruz standing his ground accusing donald trump of manufacturing that birther controversy but donald trump saying with ted cruz, there's serious problems for the gop. overnight, a clash of titans at the republican debate. donald trump and senator ted

>> there's a big question mark on your head. >> reporter: trump ordering cruz to get a court order to show he's eligible to run for president since cruz was born in canada. cruz painting trump as a natural born politician. >> you know, back in september, my friend donald said he had had his lawyers look at 24 from every which way and there was no issue there. the constitution hasn't changed. but the poll numbers have. >> reporter: cruz saying extreme birther arguments would eliminate several candidates, even trump. >> done nalgd's mother's was born in scotland. she was naturalized. now donald -- >> but i was born here. >> reporter: some candidates growing frustrated. >> i hate to interrupt this episode of "court tv." >> reporter: senator rubio clashed with governor chris christie over his record in new jersey. >> unfortunately, governor christie has endorsed many of

>> christie not letting rubio interrupt him. >> you had your chance. you blew it. >> reporter: all the republicans taking shots at hillary clinton. >> hillary clinton would be a national security disaster. >> hillary clinton cannot be president. >> if we elect hillary clinton the next four years will be worse than the last eight. >> reporter: but cruz and trump weren't done later fighting over cruz saying trump embodies new york values. >> there are many, many wonderful, wonderful working men and women in the state of new york. but everyone understands that the values in new york city are socially liberal. >> reporter: trump taking that personally and invoking 9/11. >> everyone in new york loves new yorkers and that was a very insulting statement that ted made. >> reporter: after the debate, i spoke with trump who told me he didn't think their fight would get so heated were you surprised at how hard he hit you. >> i was a little bit surprised

harder. >> reporter: now donald trump also told me after the debate that he's not going to change his strategy for this campaign, but they will be spending much more time in iowa just before the iowa caucuses and all the candidates will get another chance to debate in two weeks just before the voting starts. george. >> okay, tom, thanks. let's talk about this more with jon karl in south carolina for us and republican pollster kristen soltis anderson a columnist for "the washington examiner." trump said after the debate the bromance is over with ted cruz. who got the better of it? >> reporter: well, look, both of them, cruz and trump had their best debates of the campaign. they dominated this debate but trump clearly came out on top. his response to the new york values attack from cruz was so effective that cruz was actually applauding him and even that exchange on cruz's citizenship. you could argue that cruz won the exchange but look what they were debating, george. they were debating whether or not ted cruz is eligible to be president. that's a debate that donald

it's certainly not a debate that ph.d. wants to have. >> kristen, you thought ted cruz won. >> i thought he did because i think he rattled donald trump. donald trump's not someone who rattles easily but when cruz brought up the fact that donald trump's mother wasn't born in the united states, of course, that's irrelevant when it comes to the constitutionality of trump's campaign. but it did seem to throw him off his heels a little bit and you saw that this is the ted cruz who is a national debate champion in college. this is the ted cruz that came out to play last night. >> jon, at times the others seemed to struggle to get in a word during the debate but marco rubio really unleashed a barrage on cruz right at the end of the debate. >> reporter: he sure did. clearly marco rubio has calculated that he is not going to be able to beat donald trump unless he is first able to destroy ted cruz. they went back and forth at it. i think that that's the political cage match we'll see going into iowa. but, george, even on that score i think you could argue trump won because while they were

unscathed. >> meantime, hillary clinton on late night tv last night. here she was with jimmy fallon. commentary. we both do. could you believe what he just said? >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> what does that mean? i have no idea. yeah, we have an ongoing dialogue about it. >> that was her talking about how she watches debates with her husband former president bill clinton but, kristen, one of the things the republicans are salivating about is this cage match between bernie sanders and hillary clinton with him leading in iowa and new hampshire. >> you're right. if you take a look at the polls hillary clinton's decline or the decline of her lead looks about as dramatic as the decline in her lead looked eight years ago. are we seeing a rerun of the same movie because while hillary of the side there are pieces from eight years ago that seem to be flocking to bernie sanders. first time caucusgoers and there

clinton camp. years ago. >> kristen, jon, thanks very over to robin. >> i know you'll be there this watching. thank you. now to breaking news, reports just coming in of two military helicopters colliding off the coast of hawaii. the search for survivors under way and abc's gloria riviera has good morning. robin. here's what we know now. the coast guard has dispatched a helicopter and planes after reports there was a downed aircraft off of haleiwa, hawaii. they are searching for personnel. coast guard offs say it was a possible collision between two marine corps helicopters, but this is not yet confirmed and we do not know at this time if there are any injuries but they're searching for survivors two miles off the coast of haleiwa. the latest on that powerball jackpot and the search for all three winners. there are questions swirling this morning about a reported

looks like a hoax. and abc's kayna whitworth is tracking it all from pomona, california. good morning, kayna. >> reporter: hey, robin, good morning. so, a joke that a lot don't think is very funny. we rushed here to this nursing facility last night hoping to find a new multimillionaire. instead, finding more questions than answers. at first, it sounded like the perfect ending to i ahollywood blockbuster. >> somebody won the lotto. >> reporter: a mother of seven and a nurse at a california nursing home drawing one of the three winning powerball tickets after her boss doled out 18,000 to his staff and residents. but now the nurse's family telling abc news it may all be a prank instigated by the nurse's son. her daughter telling the "l.a. times" this is one big misunderstanding. the boss who bought the tickets slo-mo rhettnick believes the nurse may be the real winner but doesn't want to come forward

>> if this was a prank done by her son it's somewhat detestable. >> reporter: meanwhile, the race is on for the identity of the other two winners. in melbourne, florida, the media swarmed this home after reports that one of the winners may work at the publix where the winning numbers were purchased. and in munford, tennessee, home of the third powerball winner dan owns this store who sold the winning ticket. he gets a payout of $25,000 for selling it. meanwhile, in chino hills, california, 7-eleven owner balbir atwal received a million dollar check for selling the winning ticket. they have a group text going. they thought they had a winner. one nurse even claiming she saw the winning ticket. but as of this morning the california lottery saying no winner just yet. robin. >> oh, okay, kayna. as you know there are a lot of

tickets that are going around like this guy.ney posting on facebook nice knowing everyone. i'm buying an island and you can see that it's photo shopped because the numbers are not inder going up so that was a clue -- >> pretty big clue. >> and we will have much more on the powerball tonight. it's a special "20/20" here on ay, robin, we turn to that big storm targeting the east, a nor'easter taking aim fromn and a lot of cold air behind it. >> this hurricane, alex, we'll try to get it all in right here. here's good news and bad news. for the southeast that low, big stormy rainy day all for or georgia, a little bit the carolina, as well. the low drives up the coastline, this is the good news for the mid-atlantic and northeast over the weekend. this is a little weaker than further out toward the east, what that means is rain but lighter rain on the

you. >> i think the first time you ask is a please and ift listen it's i'm not going to ask you again. >> exactly. >> and that doesn't mean you're giving up control. it just means you're respected and that breeds respect in turn. >> i love what you said there. it doesn't mean you're forfeiting control. >> not at all. >> by not saying - >> you're all about manners. i am too. i agree but there is a time and place where, you know, children crave -- >> structure and control and knowing that they have somebody who's in control of the situation. >> i say please to do --vantage. please. >> it's not an option. still be polite. >> they know they have to do it and follow rules and should bece if they don't. >> but i do appreciate that they are trying to do something, that they recognize there's a problem
