Nice Lady!
Mary Champaine bought 13 tickets - one for herself and every employee at the Starbucks coffee shop she runs. She fronted the money for several absent workers, but didn't hesitate to split the jackpot 13 ways. The 53-year old manager recounted how her husband died of cancer last year, how she lost her job when retailer Fedco went under last year and how her son, 24, was shot and killed several years ago. The other winners include Rick Camat, 28; Leah Coley, 30; Dina Escobar; Arely Gaytan, 27; Keith Matthews; Moisha Oliver; and Keana Essex, 16, whose winnings will go to her mother Kellye Richard. Each will get U$6.7 million before taxes, over 26 annual payments. Magic Johnson is an investor in their Mid-City Starbucks.
