Similar name yields calls for Lotto winner

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla., May 7 (UPI) -- A Florida woman says her phone has been ringing non-stop with calls from people looking for a woman with the same name, who won $2 million in a state lottery.

Tammy Henry Jordan of Port St. Lucie said she has received a flood of calls and text messages from people confusing her with Tammy Henry of Jupiter, who recently won $2 million from a Lottery scratch-off game, WPBF-TV, Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., reported Friday.

"My name is Tammy Henry Jordan," she said. "Her name is Tammy Henry. She's 43. I'm 44. She lives in Jupiter. I live in Port St. Lucie."

Jordan said she even had to involve the police when some callers threatened to come to her home to take her money.

"I've been receiving congratulations phone calls," Jordan said. "I've been receiving threatening phone calls. 'I know you won.' 'You don't have to lie.' 'We know where you live.'"

Jordan said she is staying with family members to ensure her safety. However, she said she believes the confusion may be happening for a reason.

"She won $2 million," Jordan said. "I think God is preparing me for $10 million, so therefore when I win $10 million I know not to tell anybody."
