I don't know it it was displayed or not. From what I recall the casinos like to brag up the jackpot amount so I'd assume it certainly wasn't a secret.

>If so, then they should pay that without any grumbling. If not, they should pay the full amt of 43mil...

I seriously doubt that if she went to court she would be awarded anywhere close to $43m - but it would be interesting to know :-}
The $215K sounds fair to me......
