to an 84-year-old mom of four. now $370 million richer. we want you to meet the woman who let the winner go ahead of her in line and score the golden ticket. i wonder what she says. good morning, everyone, on this friday eve. lara is off today. good to have paula faris here with us, and as always we have a lot to get to including that explosive report overnight that the national security agency has been collecting customer phone records for millions of americans. >> a record of every single verizon phone call. we'll talk to jonathan karl about that. >> first let's get to sam in clear water, florida. so much of the state bracing for tropical storm andrea and, sam, you've already had tornado warnings this morning. >> we've had tornado warnings all around us this morning. it's exactly what you expect when these feeder bands of the storm start to work off the gulf and onshore through southern and central florida. now, let's get adjusted to where the storm is. the first named storm of this hurricane season came before got a week into this season. this is the radar showing you the center of that storm about 200 miles off the shore where we are right now, and look at these enormous bands of storms. the first one that came through florida, doing damage, as well, as we've been able to see. the second one loading up is about to come through later. now, look at the watches and warnings. this is so unusual. not only do we have that peninsula on the west coast with the watches and warnings but look at the east coast from flagler beach all the way up the eastern seaboard. this storm will have very strong winds and even coastal impacts but mostly it's going to have rain. by thursday night we feel like this moves into the big bend of florida, that little curve in florida that's north of cedar key, a little north of horsetail beach there and then it starts kind of making its way inland for the most part along the coast and picking up another low. it will continue to spread rain in the northeast. this is several days of rain, all the way up the eastern seaboard, not just here. >> how far up is it going to go? >> oh, it's going all the way up. we'll catch this rain all the way up toward exactly where you are and on up even the coast of maine and massachusetts. in this area it could be from anywhere from 6 to 8 inches. further north, not much less because it gets a second infusion from that other area of low pressure by the time it gets to you. >> okay, sam. you can really see it coming down so hard. >> i now, such a large area affected. thank you, sam. now to the sudden building collapse in downtown philadelphia, the death toll now at six. rescue crews have been searching through the rubble for survivors for almost 24 hours now, and abc's ron claiborne has the latest from the scene there in philadelphia. good morning, ron. >> reporter: hey, good morning to you, robin. take a look at that tangled mess there behind me. all those tons of debris and rubble, it's really hard to believe that anybody could be alive underneath all of that and that's not what rescue workers were finding. they were looking in there, did not find anybody alive for many hours and just before midnight came the stunning announcement, there was a survivor. just before midnight with hope to find someone still alive all but extinguished, it happened. this video obtained exclusively by "gma" shows 61-year-old myra plekam being pulled from the heap of rubble. she is in critical condition. at the scene, the joy of the discovery of the survivor. >> it feels outstanding to be able to pull somebody alive. >> reporter: that just minutes after philadelphia's mayor had delivered the grim news. >> we will now confirm that there are six people who died. one man and five women. >> the whole [ bleep ] building collapsed. >> reporter: this video taken by a construction worker across the street shows the moment the building came crashing down. >> the people in the building, you could hear hollering for help. >> we ran right around the corner. we saw a couple of people and started digging and pulling people out. >> reporter: teams have been taking down the remains of this building with a huge backhoe when something went horribly wrong, the building tumbling down onto the salvation army thrift shop next door with workers and shoppers inside. this morning, nearly 24 hours later, the search-and-rescue operation continues for those who survived and those who did not. >> it's a tedious operation. they're taking their time, dangerous environment for our members. >> we said, can you hear us, can you hear us and then we heard someone over here and then we pulled the rubble off of them and went in and tried to help. >> reporter: the building depicted by two photos, this one taken just before and this taken just after. and the search-and-rescue effort will continue until every inch of that rubble is checked. that could take many more hours. back to you. >> a lot of work to do, ron, thanks very much. now to that stunning report that the national security agency h beeecng phone records from millions of americans under a top secret court order. "the guardian" broke the story and jon karl has been following it through the night. this is a blanket order. every verizon call, both phone numbers, time and length. >> reporter: this top secret order obtained by "the guardian" requested by the fbi on april 25th, ten days after the boston marathon bombing and it covers the phone records of millions of americans. and while the white house is not directly confirming this story, they are defending this massive collection of data that it describes, a senior white house official telling me just a short while ago "information of the sort described in 'the guardian' article has been a critical tool in protecting the nation from terrorist threats to the united states as it allows counterterrorism personnel to discover whether known or suspected terrorists have been in contact with other persons who may be engaged in terrorist activities, particularly in the united states." this official makes two other points, george. first of all, this order does not allow the government to listen in to those phone calls, only to look at their duration, their length and who is calling who, and the second point they make is that key members of congress were aware of this. >> they may be and the white house may be defending it right now but there's already been a bipartisan outcry. >> reporter: that's right. first of all, you have civil liberty groups completely outraged by this. the aclu calling it "a massive invasion of privacy. and al gore saying "in the digital era, privacy must be priority. is it just me or is secret blanket surveillance obscenely outrageous?" very strong words of objection coming from the former democratic vice president, al gore. i don't think he's going to be alone. >> jon, thanks very much. to that apparent suicide attempt by paris jackson. the only daughter of michael jackson rushed to the hospital yesterday after downing painkillers and cutting herself with a kitchen knife on her wrist. abc's david wright is in los angeles with the latest. good morning, david. >> reporter: good morning, robin. paris jackson is said to be physically fine after that apparent suicide attempt and getting the appropriate medical attention, and her family is asking for the one thing that it's been toughest to give her since the day she was born, privacy. >> overdose, sheriff responding. >> reporter: the call came in about 1:30 a.m. wednesday. a medical emergency at the jackson family home. this time michael jackson's 15-year-old daughter. >> female, 15, od'd on 20 motrin and cut her arm with a kitchen knife. >> reporter: paris jackson rushed to the hospital by ambulance after apparently taking 20 motrin, cutting her arm and calling a suicide hotline. the person at the other end of the phone called 911. >> hello, face, that's rarely ever is seen in public without makeup. >> reporter: a surprising cry for help from a teen who days earlier was video blogging beauty trips. >> i need serious help. i'm crazy. i am crazy. >> reporter: it's almost four years to the day that we first heard her speak. >> i just wanted to say -- >> reporter: with that heartbreaking eulogy at her father's funeral. >> -- that my daddy is the best father you could ever imagine. >> reporter: she's had to relive her dad's death several times in court. including the case still on going in which she and other family members are suing aeg live for the wrongful death of her father. she was deposed in the case but a family lawyer says she was under no pressure to testify. >> the jackson family and the jackson lawyers are putting no pressure on paris regarding this case at all. >> reporter: the lawyer representing aeg offered his own words of sympathy. >> this is a real person involved here. there's a 15-year-old girl, and something incredibly tragic happened and none of us know why. >> reporter: this morning some say there were signs she was struggling, the tabloids noticing apparent wounds on her wrist that could be explained as self-harming, cutting. lately her twitter feed has been full of song lyrics, mostly songs about heartbreak and loss including this -- "yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away now it looks as though they're here to stay." that beatles tune one of the ones the jackson family owns as part of michael jackson's estate. the jackson family lawyer telling abc news being a sensitive 15-year-old girl is difficult enough, even more so when you've lost the person closest to you, robin. >> she was so incredibly close to her father, michael jackson. okay, david, thanks very much. we hope she gets the help she needs. >> we sure do. >> to josh with the other top stories developing. good morning, josh. good morning to you and all of you. we begin with a judge's ruling in favor of a desperately ill girl from philadelphia, which could now have widespread implications. the judge has decided 10-year-old sarah murnaghan must be placed on the adult donor list for a lung transplant. until now children under 12 had to wait for pediatric lungs to become available but sarah's family sued saying their daughter couldn't wait that long. the judge's ruling is only temporary. the national transplant board has called an emergency meeting monday to reconsider the policy and the obama administration is refusing to intervene. more fallout from the lavish spending at the irs. just days after an investigation found the agency spent some $50 million on conferences that featured activities such as the one you see here, two irs employees have been suspended and could be fired pending review. they're accused of accepting $1,100 in free food and other gifts during a $4 million conference in 2010. new details about the irs' targeting of conservative groups. "the wall street journal" reports the two workers in the cincinnati field office have testified that they got orders from washington to scrutinize tea party groups. testimony that appears to contradict that of top irs officials. and the tsa will not allow pocketknives, bats or golf clubs on planes any time soon. after an outcry from flight attendants, the agency decided against lifting the ban. hear, hear. a scare in washington, smoke seen billowing into the air from capitol hill last night turned out to be a hardware store on fire. two firefighters were hurt. we'll have an update on their condition as news becomes available. also a scary scene in ohio. an out-of-control minivan slams into a busy taco bell right through the dining area. three people were hurt. but you can see that woman in orange grab her child in time. police say the driver had suffered a medical emergency. a fan at a rather thrilling white sox/mariners game went a little too far to catch a game-tying grand slam ball. how far did he go? take a look. he actually ends up bowling over a little kid. >> no. >> to go get a ball that cost about $3. >> oh. >> we can tell you the little boy in question was not hurt and -- the little boy was not hurt, however, maybe we pass the hat so we can buy that fan a $3 baseball. leave it for the little ones. please! and a reminder, the nba finals will begin tonight right here on abc. 9:00 p.m. eastern, oh, it's a good one. >> can't wait. >> we can't wait for that first half. what a first half that's going to be. time for picks. time for picks. lara is out. >> okay. >> but she's already -- she is going to be going with sam. they're both taking the miami heat. >> i'll take the heat because they promised not one, not two but seven championships. >> paula is in for the heat. >> four of us. >> all right. >> we have to for balance. >> let's go. we'll go spurs. >> spurs. >> you guys are the ones who know what you are doing. >> it's going to be a great series and grant hill will be here later. >> in just a bit. >> the real expert. we'll turn to that powerball surprise. the big winner of a $590 million jackpot comes forward. an 84-year-old from florida got a lucky ticket after another player said, "after you." paula faris has the story. >> and the winner of the $590 million jackpot is mrs. gloria c. mackenzie, 84 years of age. >> reporter: after more than two weeks of intrigue, the $590 million mystery is over. the largest single winner in the history of american lotteries is a quiet retiree, an octogenarian, mother of four who bought the lucky ticket at her local florida supermarket. she dodged the press after claiming her prize but offered this little nugget through lottery officials. >> she did ask that i share this statement with you. while in line at publix another lottery player was kind enough to let me go ahead of them in line to purchase the winning quick-pick ticket. >> reporter: mindy crindell says she was that other player and instead of being bitter, she's happy and that her 10-year-old daughter mallory who was with her in that line learned a valuable lesson. >> yeah, sometimes it's better to be patient than rich. that's right. i knew no matter what, we were teaching our daughter the right thing. >> reporter: mackenzie is taking the lump sum cash payment worth around $370 million before taxes. meaning she'll have more money than britney spears, tom cruise and oprah made last year combined. she currently lives in this modest home, a tiny two-room duplex with a tin roof off a two-lane country road but chances are, this lucky lady could be ready for an upgrade, maybe even turning those shiny new pennies into the penthouse of her dreams. her family joked that the lady she allowed to cut in line was going to win the powerball and she replied, yeah, right, no one is going to win from tiny little zephyrhills. >> one big exception. >> it only takes one. >> i love the fact she doesn't want any media attention. >> she's not asking for money. >> good for her. now we're learning more about that suburban mom busted for growing millions of dollars worth of marijuana. the arrest took detective work and her neighbors are stunned. abc's linsey davis has that story for us. >> what if there's no money? >> reporter: like a scene out of the cable television show "weeds." >> jackpot. >> reporter: much like the fictional character nancy botwin, abc news learned andrea sanderlin now accused of running a multi-million dollar marijuana operation also kept thousands of dollars of cash in her home. in fact, according to court records, her nanny says while sanderlin was being arrested in queens, sanderlin's boyfriend called and told the nanny to gather as much cash as she could from her closet. she managed to collect about $8,000 before being stopped by police. >> your drug dealing mommy, tell her i expect 10 grand on the 1st of every month. >> reporter: that sprawling mansion, abc news learned she moved in six months ago and pays between $11,000 and $12,000 a month in rent all in cash. it's an expense authorities say she could afford. her alleged grow house in queens contained about 3,000 pot plants worth an estimated $3 million. and agents say she may have tried to grow marijuana at two other new york city warehouses, as well, all three locations had exorbitantly high electricity bills consistent with growing weed and all in sanderlin's name. >> i still can't believe what really happened here. >> reporter: and while many neighbors express shock, not everyone thinks sanderlin's alleged crimes are so bad. >> she's a entrepreneurial spirit and i think it's great she's a single mom and that's how she's supporting her kids. >> reporter: unfortunately for sanderlin, the feds don't agree and she remains in jail this morning. if convicted faces at least ten years behind bars. robin? >> all right, linsey, thank you. back down to sam in clearwater, florida. what you're experiencing there is headed this way, right, sam? >> yeah, good morning, everybody. it is not just a florida storm this storm heads east. not too long before you see the heavy rain along the eastern seaboard from the carolinas way, way, way up into new england. look at the map and tell you today's a fairly dry day, gorgeous day but by midnight you get this secondary low that moves to the east coast and fill that moisture up from the south and get rain certainly late tonight, after midnight and through the day tomorrow. take a look at where the strong storms are rolling. powerful thunderstorms, got about 5 inches of rain in birmingham, alabama, yesterday. it will be pretty easy to get a couple inches in those powerful storms in the deep south. that's the weather around the nation. here's what you can expect this morning. >> we are live in clearwater beach, florida. the national hurricane center would have you say andrea. but everyone here is just calling her andrea, by the way. >> andrea, andrea and andrea. >> there you go. >> coming up more on paris jackson. did her guardians miss the danger signs?

>> it's very serious and a lot of people are focusing on was this a real suicide attempt or cry for help? that's not the issue. the issue is here's a troubled 15-year-old girl going through huge emotional issues right now and she desperately needs help. >> do we know what's at the root of it? >> absolutely. we saw last year that she was going, where's my grandmother? i haven't seen her in a week. recently reaching out to her birth mother debbie rowe. this is a girl who needs parenting. she needs consistency, leadership, continuity in her life and it's the one thing she can't get in this family. >> dan, there's been so much controversy. could katherine lose her guardianship over this. >> you can lose guardianship but you don't lose it based on the actions of the child. you lose it based on the inaction of the guardian so if they haven't been following her closely enough, if they are not paying enough attention, if she really is in desperate need of a parent figure, then, yes, that could be a reason that someone could lose it. but you don't just lose it because a child does something that is horrible. >> one could argue, she is under pressure preparing to testify in this lawsuit, questions about whether they should be bringing -- >> you heard the jackson family lawyer earlier saying she's under no pressure at all. no one is put -- but, of course, she's under pressure. i mean the reality is she's preparing to testify in a trial about her father's death. she was going to be talking about the emotional impact that this had on her, of course she's under enormous pressure and i certainly hope that the family has been taking that into account from day one in deciding what to do about this lawsuit. >> she has to relive everything of that painful -- >> she's been doing that, as i understand from people who follow her. her understanding four years later are much more mature and like reliving her father's death again. she was the love of her father's life and he was the love of hers. there's a void that i don't know that can ever be filled. >> what does the family do? >> they have to pull together. you have a definite lack of leadership. they have to decide on a structure, give her consistency, give her what every teenage girl needs, love, support. >> is there any one person who's best situated to do that right now. >> you know, katherine is great. she's a wonderful, loving lady but she's 83. she's frail. t.j. is a great young man who is the cousin who's been helping, but from what i understand that relationship isn't real strong. they're going to have to get together to decide on a structure with paris. she has to be part of the solution. >> got to be kids first, money second. i mean i'm concerned that this family has been a family that's been fighting over money throughout michael jackson's life and now you see -- i'm not saying that it's the result of that, but you just got to remember, in terms of priority, it's got to be the kids first. >> dan, howard, thanks very much. let's get the weather now from sam in clearwater, florida. hey, sam. >> and, george, it's one of my favorite places here along the coastline, clearwater beach is just beautiful with miles and miles of perfect white sand and normally a very gentle gulf. it's on the way into that horseshoe bend area. that hook up in north florida. this is the radar and you can see the bands of very heavy rain, tornado watch from central florida all the way south right now. tornado warnings have been popping up in these bands, as all of this turbulent weather moves from the gulf on to the shore. boy, does it really stir up a lot of heavy range, wind and strong possibilities of more tornadoes during the day today. take a look at the path of this storm. it is not just a florida storm. it has got rain and heavy rain for the entire east coast today. ear on the other side is where all the heat is roaring talking about temperatures going well above 100 degrees, in some cases those will already go to 120 and above. that is serious, serious early >> all that weather was brought to you by target and we are live in florida this morning and we'll be here throughout the morning as this storm cruises on by. let's go back in to new york now. >> you are soaking wet. i'm looking at your feet, young man. there's just water all around you, sam. thanks for being there for us. >> i'm going to be barefoot in just a minute, robin. >> i'm surprised you're not already. coming up, the astonishing man versus beast fight all caught on tape. how this ended in a record-breaking 1300-pound giant shark. come on back. ♪ ula ula, hagamos ula ula, ♪ ula ula ula ula al revés, ♪ hago que lo imposible sea posible, ♪ ♪ que todo lo increíble se vuelva visible, ♪ ♪ tres, dos, hola, ula... ♪ aplaudan en la luna. ♪ ula ula, hagamos ula ula, ♪ ula ula ula ula al revés, ♪ ula ula, hagamos ula ula, ♪ ula ula ula ula al revés, ♪ ula ula, hagamos ula ula, ♪ ula ula, hagamos ula ula, ♪ ula ula, hagamos ula ula, [ telephone rings ] how's the camping trip?
