Then she fought in court instead of giving up the money?
Of course. I'm not blaming her for any of that. I might've done the exact same thing. I just take issue with @mwproductions' "foisted." She could have thrown the lottery ticket into the trash or something; I would not encourage that course of action, but I'm saying that there shouldn't be blame-throwing at the ticket donor, either. Had the donor known it would have been winning, of course s/he wouldn't have given it away, no? There should be no blame and it was just an unfortunate series of events.
