Outing has gone to court to force the Massachusetts State Lottery Commission to cut her a check immediately for the full $5.6 million, minus taxes, she won in the Sept. 4 Megabucks drawing.

She says she just can't wait another 20 years for the full amount.

"In March, I will be 95 years old. Do you realize that? Ninety-five in March," the Everett woman told the Boston Globe. "Now, you know I'm not going to live 20 years."

The commission has rejected her request, saying Megabucks winners get 20-year annuities, not lump-sum payments. Frustrated, Outing and her Boston attorney asked Norfolk Superior Court Judge Barbara Dortch-Okara to step in.
