>> the doj has finished homework assignment and complied with the judge's order. the debate whether the judge has sparked a public spat that's going to wrap up any time soon. that's not settled. here are two sides on that. >> he thought that president obama had said something and he could get doj to contradict it and that would embarrass the president. this is not the role that the judge should play. >> judge smith cares passionately about our constitution. important to understand he was responding to what the president began when the president took the political position that it would be unprecedented for the supreme court to strike down obama care. >> so, shep, the judge has gotten his response. we'll see what he does with it. >> shepard: shannon bream in our washington newsroom tonight. thanks very much. if somebody is spending your money in las vegas. you should probably get to be there, right? two watch committees are watching wasteful spending. the head of the agency recently resigned after news broke of an $800,000 conference in las vegas complete with a mind reader. that triggered an investigation which is now apparently expanding. the new focus, an incentive program that gave out quarter million dollars in gift cards to employees for doing good work. all this from an agency that's supposed to help other federal departments manage their resources without wasting anything. well, a 100-million-dollar mega millions ticket is still out there somewhere and we don't know who has it no clue that's what we learned from the news conference today from the director of the maryland lottery. >> we have not heard from anyone claiming that they have the ticket. we have not heard from a representative claiming that they are representing the winner of the ticket. >> shepard: now, that's kind of interesting because, remember the news conference yesterday with that mcdonald's worker. she claimed to be one of three winners of record setting jackpot. her lawyer says he hasn't seen the winning ticket. doesn't want to see it doesn't know if she even won. the chief fox report correspondent jonathan hunt is with us now. the lawyer speaking again today but doesn't really have anything to say again today. >> not much to say. but we did get more pearls of wisdom from edward smith jr. who appeared on "america live" with megyn kelly today. and had some advice for all mankind although perhaps his sweet swine pork rines hat-wearing client should pay the most attention to these words. listen. >> i hope that most of your listeners would realized how blessed they are to have children, to have family, and to have more than just money in their pockets. >> about $100 million doesn't stink either. >> oh, i would assume that for some people that might be the case, but there are more important things in this life than just having money. >> and, perhaps, just perhaps he should mention to his client that there are more important things in life than just having attention. >> shepard: wow. and today somebody stepped forward claiming to know the person who really won all the money. >> yeah. this time a woman from mississippi claimed her son in maryland is actually the winner and has the winning ticket. although like these sweet swine pork rines hat-wearing woman, she provided no evidence. in the meantime, lottery officials had a few pointers for whoever does have the real ticket. listen. >> now, at this point in time, a little bit of advice to the winner. if he or she is listening, we would encourage you to sign the back of the ticket and that you safeguard it. put it in a safety deposit box in a safe somewhere that will protect the ticket. >> behind the mcflurry machine in your local mcdonald's is not considered by lottery officials as safe place.
