Did She Win the Lottery or Not?

Some people have an interesting theory: Her lawyer has set up a corporation that will step forward to claim the prize shortly before the deadline. The winner can be anonymous, so no one will know exactly who it is, but they won't think it's her because she supposedly lost the ticket.

Since I'm guessing she didn't actually win, someone else's lawyer could be doing that. They better move fast though, in Maryland they only have until the end of September to claim. In Kansas the winner has two years and the Illinois winner has one. Also in Illinois the winner cannot be anonymous, but with a $100M windfall I wouldn't have hesitated to pay a lawyer a few million or even $10M to claim it for me, to remain anonymous.
