thats to include she ripped off her fellow employee's? how do you know its her ticket? she doesnt even look like she has the $$ to afford 1 ticket, and who in the heck trusts someone with a pocket full of cash to buy a ticket for them, hold onto the tickets, and exspect to get winnings if so happens? sorry but the , "i bought mine separate" lie is just bs, AND unless she can prove it, by the regester dales slip, she's gonna end up coughing it up.

might be why this ticket is misplaced all of a sudden. she cant find a lawyer to promise her she'd get all the cash, leavung her fellow employee's high and dry.... scab.

Mossdog - try clicking on that little icon that looks like ABC written above a check mark. Your comments would mean a little more if you could spell.

She is such a big liar, it is written all over her face. Does she really think the world is going to fall for her lies?

The world did already! The media has been following her lying ass around for a week.

I always have to get my tickets out to compare the numbers. Guess she is really smart and knows the numbers even though she has "misplaced" the ticket. I thought she said she hid it at Mickey D's.

Right. I bought a ticket and lost it too. Wooooooowwww... Who would be that immature?

This can be summed up in two short words:

EPIC FAIL.

Cannot wait for the next installment of her story. Isn't there a deportation back to Haiti for those who are just too stupid to be here? I mean really folks, we have enough natural born stupids here as it is.

I hope she finds her ticket soon....she could use a new weave!

Never HAD the ticket.
Why would one "hide" a multimillion dollar ticket at a McDonald's and then tell about it on national news so everyone there could start a hunt for it? Did she think they wouldn't look?
If there was a ticket, she'd have had it in a safer place anyway.

She got her 15 minutes of fame.
Nothing to see here folks. Move along.

How many people here think her lawyer looks EXACTLY like Jim Gafigan?
Also there is somthing really weird with this girl, either this was a plublicity stunt,
Or she really did lose the ticket (making her a retard)
Or she still has it and is just trying to get the press off her.

Something I would like to point out: that ticket, after taxes, is worth about $150mil. Split between 15 people, that is still a whopping $10mil apiece. Is that not enough to live at least comfortably for the rest of your life, even if you have seven children? Put it away in a mutual fund or something. At an average of 5% each year, you will have an annual income of $500,000! Hell, I can only dream of being in a situation like that right now. People in this country are so damn greedy - you are able to live with seven children with no father, free everything, and all you want is more. Goodbye, sweet America.

Maybe one of her childrens seven fathers has the ticket.

Mirlande Wilson....YOU LIE!

Who's paying the lawyer.?

Translation: I never had it.

I think quite the opposite. She doesn't have the ticket and never did. Just wants the publicity. No one in their right mind would lose a multi-million dollar lottery ticket.

...watch for a Book Deal in a few months...

wow, least americans arent judgemental! how does one "look" like they have money? do you mean by being white? is that how?

can we be done with this woman? how is this even a story? ooh wait, it was ME! i have the ticket!

In a way I feel for this woman - she is going to have to eat a lot of 'crow" - but it makes me wonder .... is she just showing her true self, or an over excited or whatever person thinking she won... either way I feel for what she may be going through in the long run. This is why so many pools have rules and keep things under lock and key, totally above board so there is never a reason for question. Winning for me would be sweet, a nice dream, opening so many different doors - but I would help my family, and my co workers struggling long side me for real - you can not take it with you, and life is far to short - make a difference.

She's got the ticket. It was the work pool ticket, and she wants to keep all the cash for herself. How quick was she to get a lawyer involved. Possession is 9/10. Case solved.

I call B.S. on the whole thing.

hmmm....baby daddy number seven... baby daddy number six...baby daddy number 5...baby daddy number 4...baby daddy number 3...baby daddy number 2...baby daddy number 1....Jackpot...

Here's my question: If she doesn't have the ticket...then who does? Why hasn't someone else come forward yet?

Sir Andrew - I don't have the answer to your first question, but there are a few good possible reasons why the actual winner hasn't come forward yet. Someone like myself, bought a couple of tickets on the day of the drawing, stuck them in a wallet thinking, "There's no way in hell I'm going to win this much money," and hasn't bothered to check to see if they had any winning numbers yet.

Or perhaps, the person with the winning ticket is aware they have the winner, but is getting their ducks in a row (hiring a lawyer, accountant, etc.) and waiting for media attention to die down a tad.

Now who's gonna take care of all those kids? Not like she can go back to runnin' the grill and act like nothing happened.

Keep your eyes on her, she may just go back to Haiti, with the winning ticket and kids, and baby daddys, in tow!!!!! The McD's lottery pool players should have been much more careful when it came to their money...for the love of it is the root of all evil!!!! Good luck to all involved!!!

Something smells fishy to me. Did she lose her ticket? Or, is she waiting for her attorneys to figure out a way for her to keep the money and not share it with the others from the company pool?

Well, how should I put this...I guess this is the closest I've been to actually believing her. I still don't, but I do believe if she HAD won, she is fully capable of losing the ticket. 'nuff said.

Payback is a biatch. She got greedy and the ticket got lost. What a dope.

Well, if she does have the ticket, she will make her claim before the deadline. Unfortunately, even smart people can misplace something this valuable. However, if she has an idea that the ticket must be somewhere at home, she should look into every square inch.

Me, too. I also lost the ticket.

Not really, but can we stop with the insults about the woman's ethnicity, marital status, motherhood, place of birth? None of that has anything to do with the price of eggs in China.

This is a really simple story. It doesn't require anyone to be mean spirited about who she is, what she does, how many kids, etc... The bottom line is, she just got 15 minutes of fame. Let her have it, let it go away. Because, when it all comes out in the wash, if you don't have the ticket to turn in, that will allow you to convert that piece of paper to cash, you've got nothing. If she doesn't have the ticket, it shoudn't even be news worthy. So, you guys just let the lady have her 15 minutes of fame, she'll be forgotten about by next week.

Next, this lying B will try and sue the lottery for not making the ticket reappear in her hands. /sarc

I don't believe she ever had the ticket. She's setting up a story to try and cash in on whoever actually has it and then go after them claiming she purchased it for them.

Why the media is following and still reporting on this loser is beyond me. She doesn't have the ticket, the time line of her and the winning ticket does not match as the police have said, so it's time to stop following this dingbat around and reporting on her.

She's made a fool of herself, now let her walk the community walk of shame & stupidity from hereon-out.

If she has the ticket...she's letting someone else close to her claim the prize. Why share with 5 or 6 co-workers when she can give someone 1/2 and keep the other half. If she won this and has someone else claiming the prize, I sure hope they investigate her and catch her a$$

The truth has finally come out and this woman NEVER had the winning ticket. She just wanted the publicity. Well she had her 15 minutes of fame for nothing.

My gut based on this info is that she has the ticket but is looking for a way to keep all of it, hence the attorney. She's hoping he'll find that loophole entitling her to all the money. Sad for her co-workers who trusted her lying/greedy butt.

I guess she lost it where the 3 school teachers could find it. Well McDonald's is known for monopoly. Put your crack spoon away girl.

Three winning tickets sold, Kansas, Maryland and Illinois, three winning tickets presented. No more winning tickets. She is a liar and just trying to cash in on a prize she has no claim to. The last time I checked that's called fraud. But, guess what, she will keep saying she had it, lost it, and the people who claimed the prize found HER ticket, and as such, she should get the prize. What part of three winning ticket sold, three claimed is so hard to figure out? This isn't rocket science, it real simple. Like two and two is four, Dead people don't eat, even this stupid bitch aught to be able to figure this out, three winner sold, three claimed, she isn't one of them.

But wait, there's more,, I can't wait for the whole Al, Jesse and new black panther freak show to weigh in. It will become a case of cheating the Black woman out her share. How the WHITE man is keeping Blacks down. A grand WHITE conspiracy against blacks. It won't matter that she has no ticket and never had the ticket. It will be pay her or we will call for riots and the deaths of white people as in the Trayvon Martin case. Racial extortion, pure and simple. Give us what we want or we'll start killing people. Wow, how civilized of them.

@ Nicodemus1946 - You sure are showing everyone very well how you want to be treated. You should really just be quiet if all you can add is antagony and judgement. By doing so, you appear very foolish.

Damn .... I lost my ticket too ...!

Me three...lol!

what do you think happened?

I doubt any one in their right mind would claim they won-when in fact they didn't or didn't even buy a ticket...Well, maybe she should be mentally evaluated...

Not on my dime.

ramon, I would have doubted that also, until I married, and then divorced the craziest woman ever. To tell the truth, the first time I clicked on this story I was hoping real real hard that it wasn't her. So, now the scary part is that there is more than one of them.

... until I married, and then divorced the craziest woman ever.

Maybe you are equally as crazy for marrying her in the first place.

The dog ate it. Or one of the kids.

You don't just go claim that amount of money, unless you're a fool, like this woman. Hire a lawyer (first), a financial consultant, move (if necessary). You can't claim this money from a trailer park.

Sounds as if she needs to do some serious house cleaning with the kids helping!

I highly doubt anyone would "lose" a winning ticket to this amount of money.

Especially, just a few hours before the drawing. But, looking back to the article, if she put the ticket in her undies for safe keeping, it's no wonder that it is lost.

There is no advantage to coming forward anymore. Everyone will be asking you for money. Everyone else will be criticizing your looks, your religion, your ethnicity, your clothes, your children, and the blogs and gossips will be making fun of you. With the anonymity of the Internet, it is 10x worse than ever.

As Muddy Waters sang..."You can't lose what you ain't never had".

she really win, but she do not wanna share, she will give the tikets to a familly to claim it

or to the legal aide, but she needs get follow by the fbi, and special agent, she knows what she is doing.

It's possible she lost it, but how can she be so sure it was the winning ticket? Who memorizes their numbers? I don't. Unless they play the same ones all the time which some people do. This woman was asked if she made it up, and she answers I didn't make it up to get attention? I think she gave this up, the man didn't ask her if she did it to "get attention." She made a Freudian slip remark on this one. But what an idiot to hire a lawyer.

Jimmy James, that has to be the most hilarious line EVER!!!!

That has got to hurt. A LOT.

You folks are really being cruel about this woman. Anyone, and I do mean "anyone" can lose an item. For example, I once lost my pet elephant in my bathroom!! I looked for days, and as is it turned out ....... I never, ever found him!! BUMMER! lol!! This woman is sooOOOooooo full of it! ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!

LOL

I do hope, if karma is karma, that she's lost the ticket. It deserves to go into the state coffers... Liars and cheats shouldn't get ahead.

@LKessler, If she lost it, then she isn't lying or cheating.

Oh, heck .... give her the money any way. Who would lie about something like that? (LOL)

This calls for a Paul Harvey strategy. We need to see "The Rest of the Story."

I can only shake my head and think, until someone comes forward w/ the real ticket, who knows. Stranger things have happened.

This is the same lady that refused to share with her co-workers in the lottery pool.. So I hope she did lose the winning ticket. Serves her right! Greed is punished appropriately!!!

This woman is off her rocker in my opinion: She never had the winning ticket to begin with and her lawyer advised her to state publicly that she "lost it" to get the public off her back. Stupid is as stupid does. I hope the real winner comes forth soon to blast the validity of her story off the face of the earth!

I can only shake my head and think, until someone comes forward w/ the real ticket, who knows. Stranger things have happened. And for all the haters out there, if you read the article it clearly stated that the winning ticket was purchase as a single ticket not part of a batch. So unless she & her co-workers pooled their funds to buy one ticket.... Also it shouldn't be to hard to check the store camera to see if she'd come in at an earlier time to buy a bunch of tickets for the group. In a society of amoral people, everyone is guilty until proven innocent. (Translation - Liars assume that everyone lies, cheaters assume that everyone cheats, thieves assume that everyone steals. It makes people feel less guilty about their own short comings)

She doesn't need the money, the "immigrant" with seven children is doing quite well on our tax dollars.

Might want to check her "Green Card"/

"Bill T from USA

I sense that Obama will weigh in on this issue! He's not one to let a story like this pass without somehow blaming Bush!

Sam #2.9, That was hilarious!"

No it wasn't. It was a sorry pathetic attempt to turn a lottery story Political.

If she did indeed win, congratulations; if not, sorry. I still congratulate the winner. I love this story. It strengthens my support for the electoral college. We're all too foolish to elect our own leaders. To those who believe this story to be a waist of media attention...notice the advertisements on the page...yeah, they're getting paid for your traffic and comments. Don't like the story, stop supporting it. Again, congratulations to the winner!

Her 15 minutes are up.

"(Translation - Liars assume that everyone lies, cheaters assume that everyone cheats, thieves assume that everyone steals. It makes people feel less guilty about their own short comings)"

and people that believe anything believe everyone is honest it makes them feel less stupid.

PS they checked the tape at the 7-11 and although they didn't come right out and say it they also didn't say they saw her on it buying any tickets.

Hmmmmmm do you believe ever thing someone tells you? IF so I need you to help me get 45 million I have in a Mexican bank. I'll give you half but you have to send me 20,000.00 to pay the taxes first. Let me know suxer..Opps I mean feller investor

This story has irritated me from the very beginning. Maybe this lady is nice, obviously, the co-workers trusted her to purchase their tickets. I have a problem with the following issues:

1. She purchases tickets for the pool at work, but she also says she purchased the "winner" outside the pool. The store verifies that the "winning ticket" was purchased by itself, and was a "quick pick".

2. She brags to certain co-workers that "she won" but then when they call fowl, of course the winning ticket was purchased by her "outside of the pool".

3. When hounded by co-workers and press, she hires an attorney? If she has 7 kids, and works at McDonald's (no offense meant here at all) how do you afford to hire an attorney - unless he is working pro-bono or is pretty positive that she does have the winning ticket? What's in it for him? Of course, if she did actually have the winning ticket, everyone can smell a lawsuit coming on this one -- and rightfully so!

4. Then she says she "hid the ticket" inside the McDonald's - no less! Only she knows where it is and will not produce it until her co-workers "cool down!" Then a manager or co-worker says that this is not true, as she never returned to work after she left to purchase the tickets for the pool. RED FLAG! If we have learned anything from this mess is that if you are responsible for purchasing tickets for your work pool, then make copies or the tickets or post them so everyone in the pool knows what is going on. Protect yourself! And if you are in a pool, make sure there is protocol in place before you hand over your hard-earned cash!

5. Now the ticket is "conveniently" lost or is it misplaced? I would feel bad, but I don't feel bad for her because of the way she handled this whole entire thing. Maybe she didn't think when she first said "she won" about the implications. I get it. Maybe this is at the advice of her attorney? Maybe this gives her time to strike up a deal with someone else to claim the money and then she would only have to split it with someone else, not 14 other people? And you can claim the money anonymously in her state?

I really hope that someone, somewhere, finds out and blows her right out of the water if she is up to something underhanded. If she really does have the ticket, really did purchase it "outside of the pool" and because of her stupidity in the way she handled this mess, she needs to let it go through the legal channels and let a judge decide.

I just really feel bad for her co-workers. I think back to the firefighters who donated part of their winnings to a sick firefighter. Compare that story to this mess!

Sorry, I just get angrier everytime I read this woman's latest developements on this ticket!

Ed-1118000 - rather like trayvon martin and the DOJ (aka WH)?

Do the nigerians know you are stealing their scam? ;)

Ed=right on.

myspellcheckerisbroken - you must have met my ex-wife, the spawn of Satan in the flesh.

She wearing a hat with the words "Sweety Swine" on it. lol

Time for this scammer and her kids- to go back to where she came from. We have enough people like you here in the US.

Why does the media talk to this idiot?

In earlier statements she had said her coworkers had copies of the tickets purchased by the pool. If they do have copies then they should know if the winnig ticket is part of the pool, unless they didn't get copies of the pool tickets until the day after the drawing. She probably did purchase the pool tickets and maybe one or two extras of her own, but when did the co-workers actually get copies of the tickets that belonged to the pool, before or after the drawing? If she didn't provide them copies until after the drawing then they should split the winnings.

I feel sorry for this Woman. She clearly thought she had won, either by mistake or due to a mental affliction. I hope that she receives the help she will need after this.

These state run lotteries are double edged swords. For those that can afford to play they are a fun inventive way for the State to increase revenue. For the millions who play each week who can't afford it they are a regressive tax and a trap. I'm guessing this poor woman falls into the latter category.

Let me see if I got this right, first this chick claims to have 1 of 3 winning tickets, then she claims that her winning-ticket was bought seperate from an earlier office-pool, now she's claiming to have lost the very ticket that she supposedly hid inside McDonalds of all places............I think all of America is about ready to kick this Bitch's Ass right about now, and for no reason but for attempting to steal five-minutes of fake-fame.

You could't have.....I thought mine was the craziest ever.....come to think of it, a very good friend of mine thinks his is the craziest woman alive too.....Imagine that!!!

She read "The Lotto" by Michael Poole

Google it

ALWAYS, I mean ALWAYS write your social security number behind the ticket. It is a bearer bond and without a social security number written on the bond your loss is someone's gain.

Who Cares if she lost the ticket!!!!!!! Isn't there more important news to focus on then this type of BS?

At first blush, I thought this ignoramus was just talking out of her ass and looking for her 15 minutes. But after reading the article again, I'm beginning to think that she isn't very bright and maybe really does have the winning ticket and is trying to shake the mob. What lawyer represents an idiot who doesn't show him or her the color of their money first? The first thing any lawyer would say is: show me the ticket. Since she has an attorney, I'd say she has the ticket.

Stupid is as stupid does...I really feel sorry for her, to be honest. First step when winning big money: see an attorney. If I was in charge of the office ticket pool and won on a single ticket I bought outside the pool, I'd be sure to give my pissed-off co-workers a million or so, but they'd have to sign an agreement not to sue.

1. If she won with the lottery pool tickets and there are copies of this fact, then she is obligated to share. I'm assuming this would have had to be early in the day or earlier in the week for this to even be a plausible scenario.

2. If she went back at a later date/time and purchased her own tickets and won on these, then she's not obligated to share. However, I feel it would be brownie points for her to give her coworkers a little something. Though she's not obligated to share at all.

That being said, if this woman is being shady, and it looks that way to me, then her losing this ticket (if it even existed in her possession in the first place) is one of the greatest examples of karma at it's finest. Good luck Maryland!

Peace222- In my state we don't have the anonymous option, however...I'm SURE I could enjoy the humiliation of sour grapes with my multi-millions!

At least producers have found their first contestant for the new show, ARE YOU SMARTER THAN AN EMBRYO?

What an UNEXPECTED turn of events. Didn't see that coming.

I feel sorry for her 18 kids. What a complete idiot. Send her back to Haiti.

Can't say I've been following this story but the situation seems bazaar.

Well it all boils down to this she has to produce the ticket in order to collect the money

LOL 1POV! I was thinking the same thing!

One of her kids used the ticket as a napkin while eating their happy meal.

Naw... She didn't have a Bic lighter so she took a match, lit the ticket and used it under the crack pipe to heat the rock. Either that or she used it as coaster under her King Cobra 40 oz.

pjam09----ratings, my dear fellow poster, ratings.

The whole story is rather unstable, as is, I believe, this "Winner",,,,,

I am guessing the ticket has been conveniently "lost" to keep her co-workers off her back. Just a guess.

I'm leaning towards her not finding it either. I was done when she said she wouldn't share with the co-workers. Thats why collectors should get relatives to purchase seperate tickets.

That would take planning and thinking ahead. Unless the lawyer suggested it, I just do not see it myself.

She is going to have to get a different job, if she did not win. So I suppose that cover is already in place. Except I am sure that she cannot move out of state. I am sure that her co-workers will keep track of her to see if she actually won or not. I can see her going back to rub it. Which would totally blow her carefully conceived cover. Either way at this point she has lost.

Kamimyla - In the article it said that the winning ticket was a quick-pick, so not one where you would memorize the numbers and only one bought at the time. Usually when there is a pool of people buying they pick certain numbers. You are most definitely right in my opinion on your comments. Who in the world would hire a lawyer before having a ticket as proof and knowing you are a winner, just makes no sense. With seven kids working at McDonald's where does she get the money to hire a lawyer, unless he needs the attention and TV exposure, and does it pro Bono. Weird story!

I see things falling in place now. "Say my good and trusted friend, I won this lottery but I don't want to share it with my co-workers," "so, I will give you 10% of the winnings if you will come forward and say you bought the ticket." "I would give you more but I have to share with my lawyer because he came up with the plan."

If she ever did have the ticket, My bet is that she gave it to someone to cash in FOR her, BUT, as money does strange things to people, Her friend is now one very rich person and she is left with nothing but an unpaid lawyer bill and a title as the dumbest "B" in MARYLAND.

Floyd... An alternate scenario would be...

I am thinking she never had the ticket, but when another shows up with it, she will claim that they stole it from her hidey-hole. Of course her position will be weak, but her and her lawyer will accept a large settlement to not pursue the allegation and tie the money up within the courts.

--------------------------

ensiex... another good scenario, Her friend can then claim that she "gave them" the tic ket for some type of services rendered or as a "gift". Either way your observation of her intelligense is spot on.

the ticket is in her hat. She has no intention to share with anyone. Unless she produces a ticket, she is getting no money. The multiple she shared with her co-workers did not win. It was a single ticket QP sold around 7:30pm...read the article. Cannot be the multiple...The lottery is investigating and looking for a winner who will bring the ticket. No ticket=no money. Fair.

We have an office pool here where I work, and we don't pick numbers. All tickets purchased are purchased as Quick Piks. There's $5 on each ticket max, $1 per line. So, even if it was a QP ticket, it still could have been within the groups' purchase. It's a shame that the first words out of her mouth was "I'm not gonna share". What a greedy B.......tch. If she'd purchased for the group, it seems a little fishy that all of a sudden she would claim it was a separate purchase.

I would be looking for another job if I were this woman. I'm sure no one will ever trust her again in this type of scenario. And yes, I have to agree, why hire an attorney if you don't have the ticket. He's probably got it, but why go back to the media and make like a total A$$ by saying "I lost the ticket".?

This lady doesn't have her marbles all in a row.

I knew of a couple who won a ten million $ ticket. They worked in my hospital but quickly vanished...did not even come back to return their security ID or empty their locker. For sure, no two- week notice there. They became history....instantly....rich history. Take this job and shove it was their motto. Depending how much I would win, it may be tempting to do the same. For certain, anonymity would be my biggest concern. Seems silly to work two weeks when you are very rich and sick of your job. At the end, few people make a difference at work. We are ants in a huge colony and easily disposable....from top to bottom.

Not quite sure what alumette post has to do with the price of fish

You reminded me of a joke. A man comes home all excited and tells his wife "Quick, pack your things. I just won the lottery!!!" The wife says "What do I pack for...Vegas...Paris???" Husband says "I don't care where you go..just get the #@%& OUT".

Her motive is that she says she won,then she lost it ,oops all of a sudden the true winner comes forward and then she saids that they came to her house and stole the ticket,now she trys to lay claim to the ticket or at least half the prize.The winner says no all the Blacks get mad and claim the lottery is racist start rioting people get scared give her 100 million dollrs.end of story.Peace

Another option is she did have the winning ticket & becuase of the all the slack she is getting, gave the ticket to someone she trust to turn it in either for her or with her. Or one of her kids did something with it. Actually it is smart that no one has come forward yet, they are probably consulting with their lawyers/accounting people to figure out what to do.

Her motive is ..... "Tuesday"

@Bogart123......: You know, it wouldn't surprise me if you are right. Time will tell.

Her motive is that she says she won,then she lost it ,oops all of a sudden the true winner comes forward and then she saids that they came to her house and stole the ticket,now she trys to lay claim to the ticket or at least half the prize.The winner says no all the Blacks get mad and claim the lottery is racist start rioting people get scared give her 100 million dollrs.end of story.Peace

Tantican: You nailed it. Sadly this is even a possibility in our overly, ridiculously knee-jerk reaction P.C. world. I'm pretty much over the "wolf" cry.

At first she was a winner, then her ticket was not to be a part of her co-worker's pool, and now she's lost the very ticket thats worth 120 something million dollars. I for one am about ready to kick this Bitch Azz just for trying to steel fake-fame.

Rick Thomas

At first she held (1) of (3) winning tickets, then she stated that her ticket was not included in an earlier co-worker's pool, now she has gone and lost this winning-ticket that she supposedly hid inside McDonalds of all places.......The only certainties in this case is the fact that Im about ready to kick this Bitch Ass for palyin games and tryin to steal fake-fame.

Rick T.

As I am personally aware of who the Baltimore winner is, I can say that this woman is 'FOS'. What a nasty game she has perpetrated on her co-workers, and for what reason, who knows. I can say with certainty that she will not be welcomed back to that restaurant with 'open arms'.

As for the winner, who plans to accept the winnings anonymously, it could not have happened to a more deserving person! Wish you all the best with your new life!

I remember this happening once before. Some woman claimed she "lost" the ticket outside of the store and she was claiming that if anyone found the ticket with "her numbers" that they needed to get the ticket back or give her a share. Of course the community was all up in arms about it. (i.e. that the woman should be compensated and who ever has her ticket best give it back).

It ended up being an AA nurse who had the real ticket and she could show that she had been buying tickets at that store forever so all the controversy died down. However, if it had been someone else there would have been huge amounts of pressure for the "winner" to compensate the woman who had "lost" the ticket. Unfortunately, you cannot be anon in every state and I think that was the issue in the state this happened in. You should be able to google it.

She wants to end up like Octomom and shop for a reality show. She is an embarrassment to the state of Maryland, McDonalds, and black people in general.

Damn, Tantican, I agree with greenbeagle - that was brilliant!!!

...you should be working for Al Sharpton

It is like a dating site?? use the media to attract hopeful suitor's??

At our work, we have a point person, who will purchase the tickets, copy all the numbers on the copier, and hand them out prior to the drawing. If she cannot prove this ticket, if she even has it, was not part of the work pool she needs to split the winnings. How many people were in on the pool anyway? It still always all of them a life of luxury. In this case greed is......WINNING.

I hope your friend has never met nor had any contact with this woman what so ever... even if it was something so innocuous as handing your friend his #4 value meal. As we are all aware there are far to many people in this world who want something for nothing.

Hope your friend is able to collect without any hassle.

Her motive is that she says she won,then she lost it ,oops all of a sudden the true winner comes forward and then she saids that they came to her house and stole the ticket,now she trys to lay claim to the ticket or at least half the prize.The winner says no all the Blacks get mad and claim the lottery is racist start rioting people get scared give her 100 million dollrs.end of story.Peace

Tantican: You nailed it. Sadly this is even a possibility in our overly, ridiculously knee-jerk reaction P.C. world. I'm pretty much over the "wolf" cry.

Bull f-ing sh*t. The truth is that the vast majority of black people out here think she's just as crazy as you do. Blame the MEDIA for controlling your white minds into thinking any of us actually listen to Jesse Jackson. Ironically, THAT is what makes you and the 30 other people agreeing with Tantican racist!

robopaloopbob, When is al and jessie going to show up and do a rally and march for this women to get "her money". That way all three media hounds can get their face in the media. I hope the True winner comes and collects anonymously and enjoys it with her family. Media feeds on things and some people feed off the media!

"but that there is an issue because the timestamp on the tape does not exactly match the timestamp of the lottery ticket machine, so they can't be exactly sure who bought the ticket from that video."

Gee that's some great police work there Lou. Can't you say walk over to the lottery machine right now, see what the time is, look at the tape machine, see what the time is, then do some f'n math??

I wouldn't be surprised if she had been hired by the media for a good junk of money just so they can keep writing racially infuriating articles. The Zimmerman / Martin case is starting to wear off.

Meanwhile, the real winner cashes his ticket anonymously....

Probably one of her kids used it as a napkin after eating their happy meal.

I declare a "Foul" and want a "do-over"!!

wellllllll...nope that wont work because there is another catch to the story. she claims that she bought the tickets for the lottery pool at work but then she had a "friend" buy the ticket for her a few days later.

This crazy biotch is LYING! she never had the winning ticket.

Calibration may not be possible, at least not to legal standards. If the store where she bought the ticket was like the one where I got mine, customers were lined up, one after another. A few seconds drift in the timestamp would point to a different customer. How do they know that the timestamp wasn't altered (perhaps innocently, in an attempt to fix it) between the time the ticket was sold and the problem was discovered. The time drift might not be constant, etc... Just too many things that add up to reasonable doubt.

Regardless, Without that piece of paper, no one can claim the prize.

Like the guy whose dog ate his tickets to the masters, he got the dog to upchuck or pass the tickets and he kind of pieced them together as best he could. Worried that the gatekeepers wouldn't ac.cept them he called up and found that as long as had the bar codes they would replace the tickets

lol! please, don't make laugh

Wow, what a prediction! Now, can you tell me what tonights winning Mega Million numbers are going to be?

A lot of people were making that call in the Newsvine thread when she first came forward.

You mean a "filet-o-fishy"

Don't carp on this poor women. It cod be an innocent mistake. Tuna in later for more breaking news. It will be a whale of a story if she locates the missing ticket.

Shes doing this all on porpoise....

Her story is floundering. She made it all up just for the halibut.

Ok I've haddock with this story..

Its called if she really did win its the office pool ticket, she was trying to be slick and now its catching up with her.

Cod almighty, can't you come up with some better puns?

Well, just for the halibut, let's say she's not lying...

You people have no sole.

The lost ticket could be a red herring.

Holy mackerel, I'm not sure what to think about this lady

but whether she'd telling the truth or not....time eels all wounds

Arrrggghhhh!!!. One more pun and I'm taking the day off for my mental health.

Thanks in advance.

Anyone? Anyone? Awww come on - please. I'll share my lottery ticket now a losing bookmark.

Perhaps she would have been better off to "clam"-up? This one's for you Attriya!

She thought we were all suckers. You're welcome!

attriya-3977124

dont get so hooked over this. if you just reel in your frustration you'll be fine.

on the other hand, if she is guilty of lying...I hope she frys

Well I dolphin comment on stories like this, but me thinks she's lyin and eel get hers soon....

(Sorry, best I could do on short notice).

Carpe ticket.

As Sponge Bob would say...Oh FISHPASTE! What did I do with that ticket!?

She baiting the media that fishes for a whale of a story to get us hooked about the big one that got away!

Her story is crab. I smelt it all along. What a cheap skate. It was a grouper ticket. She should get the spinefoot for bassing it off to msnbc's sucker carps.

This woman is lying she will take the ticket and disappear cash it in later. How dishonest the bible says money is the root of all evil. I beleive it was the pool ticket with her co-workers she is being greedy what one person needs 213 million dollars after taxes she will still have a big chunk.

This is just wrong.

she should have snapper purse.

What she needs is the proper authorities to mussel the truth out of her. And if she is crazy then perhaps they can snapper out of it.

If its really fishy, then I would not put my finger on it......

......though seven others have.

if she would have snapper purse, she wouldn't have lost it.

I was wondering that myself. If she agreed to split the ticket with one person, she wouldn't have to split it 10 ways with the McDonald's people. The mystery grows.

That was my guess. Seems like winners who play both individual tix and pool tix only ever "win" on the individual tix. I wouldn't bother to pool. It seems like a recipe for trouble to me. Once this much money is involved, it's every one for themselves.

if your in a pool you all get a photo copy of the tickets the others would know if they did win if they did not ask for copies shame on them. I hope they dont give the winnings to somone by video this will cause havoc next lottery drawing. no ticket no money.

Yes, Shane from the Walking Dead

Not possible - Richard Prior said the darker your skin the faster you run from a Zombie.

That man was hilarious...

BTW - anything is possible..., lost it, misplaced it, rolled it...who knows.

Today's lesson -

"lost" =/= "never bought it in the first place"

Not in the least funny! drunk?

of course

I bet it's, "Did someone pee in here?"

they thinking the same thing everybody else is thinking......this biotch is looney.....and if they anything like me they thinking i cant wait to see her so i can kick her ass

She can take al and jessie with her to obscurity.

How do you know what a losser looks likes? And why care so much? Doh!

You are the type who look at people and if they don't resemble you they turn to be lossers and bad...blah...blah..like the dude in Florida. All up in arms judging others, just shut it! And by the way if she is what the heck!

typically, a loser can't spell properly! hmmmm.....?

hmm looser losser and they're not even claiming their "spellchecker is broken"

well anyway this poor woman needs HELP - like men in white suits

hope SOMEONE finally comes forward with the winning ticket - hate to think the real winner tossed the ticket thinking he LOST

but then again anyone who didn't double check their tickets - goes without saying

No Steve, they probably are not laughing. When they come forward, this Woman is going to claim it was racism that is the reason why she is not declared the winner. Al and Jessie will be there (only if she pledges $ to them if she is granted any winnings) and the person with the winning ticket will be left out. I see it coming. I imagine her attorney is gearing up for this right now.

people keep saying she is going to play the race card.....who the hell has determined that the true winner is white or of another race other then this women........yall dumb asses are giving her her 15 minutes that you claim she wants.....so what the hell you mad for

this imbecile, and all the attention paid to her, are a complete waste of time - in this election year there is an opportunity at hand to oust a corrupt administration and Congress that trashes the Constitution and tramples our rights on a daily basis - activism and discussions regarding a change in gov't to one that abides by the Constitution and respects the citizens would be time much better spent, don't you think?

WELL, WELL, The con -(non artist) was found out! Finaly the real winners come forward, WOW, what some people will do and say to gain something through desperation and lies!............hmmmm.......

I had a good laugh when the real Lotto winners claimed the prize!!! I soooo knew this lady was full of it

I hope she is stuck with a big bill to pay for the lawyer she had to hire for the ticket she never had.

Congrats to the teachers who won and still want to keep teaching. I bet their summer vacations are going to be a lot more exotic now that money is no object.

This is where Octomom should be instead of trying to be famous and taking her nasty clothes off to show us all her nasty body. If she really wants to take care of all of those kids she forced HERSELF to HAVE with sperm from a friend who felt he was doing her a favor, she should get a McDonalds job or ANY JOB so that she can support her kids and show them how life is suppose to be lived. I work hard. My kids see it and I hope they learn to do the same.

Way off topic.

Yes, way off topic, but I have to say, I think that the doctor that inseminated octo-whackadoodle should be paying child support.
