Mega Millions winner says ticket still hidden inside Baltimore McDonald’s
Yahoo ^ | 05 Apr 12 | Eric Pfeiffer

One of the three Mega Millions jackpot winners says her winning ticket remains stashed away inside the Baltimore McDonald's where she works. But some of Marlinde Wilson's co-workers think she is telling a Big Lie.

"I left my ticket there, and it's somewhere safe that only I know about," Wilson told the New York Post. "I'm waiting for things to calm down so I can go back to McDonald's and get it. The people [at McDonald's] are too excited. I want their heads to cool down before I go back."

Wilson claims to have purchased one of the three winning Mega Millions lottery tickets. The three winners will each receive a share of the record-breaking $640 million jackpot. If Wilson's story is true, that would mean a $105 million ticket (after taxes) is stashed away somewhere inside the fast food restaurant.

Wilson's co-workers appear to be split in their opinion of her but all who have spoken to the media seem to share some animosity toward the Haiti native. Some of Wilson's colleagues say she is attempting to cheat them out of what should be shared winnings from a pool of lotto tickets 14 of the McDonald's employees purchased together.

And Wilson's manager, identified only as "Layla" by the Post, says she thinks Wilson isn't telling the truth about hiding the ticket inside the McDonald's. "That's impossible. She didn't come back here" after she purchased the ticket, Layla said.

Don't be an idiot. I was not old enough to vote for Clinton (BTW...Ross Perot is why he become Prez), and I was deployed overseas when Huckabee was Gov. (he became Gov. when Jim Guy Tucker was forced from office). Bet you didn't know that either.

I bet you are part of the Saint Trayvon Martin fan club also.

This was the plot to a 30 Rock episode. Tracy went on Larry King and claimed that he had hidden a large fortune in a safe place at 30 Rock, and the writers spent the episode tearing the building apart.

Gee, Marmalade, that's mighty white of ya. I hope a customer finds the f*****g thing and cashes it in right before she struts in to snatch it up. LOL!

Hilarious. You trash all Baltimoreans (in good fun I assumed, as was my comment), but you want get all up in arms and take offense. Prehaps I assumed wrong about your comment and was mistaken that you might actually have a sense of humor. My bad.

Did not think I needed a sarcasm tag or a just kidding as the topic is silly enough on it’s face.
