AN Ohio woman who won $162million on a lotto ticket had run into legal trouble after a mother with a troubled past claimed she was the true winner. After being declared a Mega Millions jackpot winner in December 2003, Rebecca Jemison, then-34, of South Euclid, was sued by another woman from Ohio, Elecia Battle, then-40. Battle asked a Cuyahoga County judge in Cleveland to stop Ohio lottery officials from giving Jemison the winnings. She claimed that she was the rightful owner of the ticket, saying that she bought the ticket and then lost it when she dropped her purse outside a store in the Cleveland suburb of South Euclid, CNN reported in 2004.
