CLEVELAND -- The Mega Millions lottery has led to a mega tug-of-war.

While Rebecca Jemison waits for the money to roll in, another Ohio woman has filed suit claiming the winnings from last week's drawing are really hers.

After Jemison turned in her ticket, Elicia Battle's attorney filed a lawsuit attempting to stop lottery officials from paying Jemison.

Jemison was certified Tuesday as the winner. Lottery officials said she should get a lump-sum payment of more than $67 million, after taxes, in two to three weeks.

But Battle said the ticket is hers. Battle said she played the numbers at the Quick Shop and then dropped her purse outside the store. She claims she grabbed up her belongings after dropping her purse but didn't realize the ticket was missing until after the winning numbers were picked. She filed a police report with the South Euclid Police Department.

Battle told The Associated Press that she did, in fact, lose the winning ticket. She said, "No one can tell me what I did and did not play."

But lottery officials said Jemison has plenty of evidence in her favor. She has another ticket she bought at the same time the winning one was sold -- as well as another recent ticket she bought with the same numbers on it.

Battle even claimed the winning numbers are significant in her life.

• 12-18 is her son's birthday.
• 32 is her other son's birthday reversed.
• 46 is the year her sister was born.
• 49 is her husband's age.
• 21 was picked for luck.

The winning numbers were: 12, 18, 21, 32 and 46. The Mega Ball number was 49.

Meanwhile, Battle's credibility is being questioned.

The South Euclid Police Department is looking into charging Battle with filing a false police report. If convicted, she faces six months in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Community's Deficit Wiped Out By Taxes From Winning Ticket

It looks like plenty of people will benefit from Rebecca Jemison's winning Mega Millions lottery ticket.

In fact, the whole community of South Euclid, Ohio, is a winner.

That's where the ticket was purchased -- and the Cleveland suburb will be getting about $1.4 million in taxes.

That makes a big difference in a community that had been expecting a $1 million deficit for this year. In fact, the mayor had laid off 11 employees just last week.

Now, she said, the unexpected tax income will make life easier for officials in South Euclid -- who are now expected to re-hire at least two of the people they laid off.
