Maryland Lottery says Mega Millions winning ticket claimed
Maryland Lottery says Mega Millions winning ticket claimed

Maryland Lottery Director Stephen …
BALTIMORE (Reuters) - The second of three winners of the record U.S. $656 million jackpot has come forward and wishes to remain anonymous, Maryland state lottery officials said on Monday.
Mega Millions lottery officials have said that three winning tickets were purchased, one in Kansas, one in Illinois, and one in Maryland.
The Kansas winner has already come forward but asked to remain anonymous, and officials declined to give details of the winner's gender, age, occupation or hometown.
The Illinois winner has not yet come forward.
Maryland Lottery Director Stephen Martino called a press conference for Tuesday morning, at which lottery officials promised to share more details about the Maryland winner while maintaining the person's anonymity.
Officials declined to say whether the Maryland winner is the McDonald's employee and mother of seven who claimed a week ago to have won but then said she had lost the ticket. Mirlande Wilson's bizarre story took a new twist on Monday when her lawyer claimed she was being sued by someone claiming an interest in the ticket she purchased.
The jackpot will be split evenly among the holders of the three tickets. Depending on which option they choose, winners can receive a lump sum of about $105 million, or smaller payments spread out over 26 years.

Mirlande Wilson, McDonald's Worker, Claims Mega Millions Winning Ticket Was Not Paid For By Co-Workers
Mirlande Wilson, McDonald's Worker, Claims Mega Millions Winning Ticket Was Not Paid For By Co-Workers

Following last week's Mega Millions buzz, the mood has shifted from excitement to fury over Maryland's unclaimed winning ticket.
Mirlande Wilson, an employee at a Maryland McDonald’s, claims she holds a winning ticket, which would make her one of three winners of Friday's record-high $640 million jackpot, reports the New York Post.
But Wilson's coworkers allege that her ticket was part of a lottery pool, and that she must share the wealth.
37-year-old Wilson told the New York Post that although she did take part in the pool, she bought the winning ticket on her own. Another person who took part in the pool refutes Wilson's claim and says Wilson was given additional money late Friday night to buy extra lottery tickets before the Mega Millions drawing.
Wilson has yet to claim her prize.
Three winners hailing from Kansas, Illinois and Maryland were drawn on Friday and will split the historic $656 million payout, notes ABC News. No winners have yet been identified.
If Wilson is indeed a winner, she'll be able to choose between receiving her prize in 26 yearly payments totaling $218.6 million or a one-time lump sum of $157.8 million.
Maryland lottery communications director, Carole Everett, told ABC News that there is no evidence that Wilson's story is true.
"There's nothing to substantiate anything," Everett told ABC. "It's probably not this person."
This isn't the first time an office Mega Millions pool has lead to mega mayhem.
Americo Lopes, a New Jersey resident and winner of a $38.5 million lottery jackpot, was sued by five co-workers who accused him of not sharing his earnings after the six men had pooled money to buy lottery tickets. Last month, a jury ordered Lopes to share his winnings with the five men.

One of the winners of last week's $US640 million Mega Millions jackpot will not share the prize with her co-workers despite the group being in a syndicate together.
Mirlande Wilson says she purchased the winning ticket – now worth more than $US100 million – with her own money while also buying tickets for the syndicate she is in with her co-workers.
The syndicate is made up of 14 people who earn around seven US dollars an hour working for McDonalds.
CCTV footage reportedly shows the ticket being purchased from a nearby convenience store at around the same time Ms Wilson was sent by her co-workers to buy their tickets.
The co-workers are now demanding she split the winnings.
One of the workers is said to have warned Ms Wilson about her decision. "These people are going to kill you. It's not worth your life", he reportedly told her.
But the lucky winner, a Haitian immigrant and mother of seven, is remaining defiant.
"The winning ticket was a separate ticket”, she told The New York Post.
Americans spent the equivalent of five dollars for every single person in the country on last week's huge lottery draw.
Millions of people tuned in to the live draw, with all but three ticket holders walking away virtually empty handed. Ms Wilson is said to have called the store where she works shouting "I’ve won! I’ve won!", after the draw.

If Mirlande Wilson is telling the truth, then the public should brace itself for yet another MegaMillions lawsuit.
The self-proclaimed Maryland MegaMillions winner is already inviting controversy, having announced that she has no plans to share the jackpot with her McDonald's co-workers. The alleged winning ticket, which she refused to show the New York Post, may have been purchased with lottery pool funds.
Sound familiar? It should.
Just last month, a New Jersey jury ordered a MegaMillions winner to share his jackpot with a group of co-workers. The man had purchased tickets with pooled funds, but claimed he bought the winning ticket with his own money.
Mirlande Wilson's co-workers are telling a similar story, according to the Post. A group of about 15 individuals put money into the pot and then sent Wilson to buy the tickets. The list of participants and the group tickets were then put in the restaurant safe. But on Friday, the owner says he gave her another $5 for the pool. She bought the additional numbers from the 7-11 that sold the winning Maryland MegaMillions ticket.
Wilson told the Post that this second batch was hers. Her co-workers -- and the Post reporters -- are skeptical of her story.
If Mirlande Wilson is indeed the winner, you can almost certainly expect a lawsuit. The winning Maryland MegaMillions ticket is worth $105 million. Even if the McDonald's employees can't afford an attorney, someone out there will undoubtedly take the case on contingency. It's just too much money to let go.
