OKEECHOBEE � In a city of 5,000, secrets last about as long as a cup of the "world's greatest coffee" at the Donut Connection. Which is why folks around here were puzzled when the owner of a $46 million lotto jackpot remained a mystery Thursday.
Everyone was talking about it, from the pier at the great lake to the local bait shop to the store where the lucky numbers were picked.
"We don't know who it is," said Bobby Adams, 25, who was taking his airboat for a spin in the shallows of Lake Okeechobee. "It could be someone who was just passing through. It could even be a Northerner."
"I sure hope it is somebody who can use it and use it well."
