Mirlande Wilson: Ticket

McDonald's Dept: Since last Friday's draw, no one has gone to lottery officials to collect their slice of a world-record $656-million jackpot, to be split three ways after winning tickets were sold in Illinois, Kansas and Maryland, according to Montreal Gazette. She also claimed the ticket was hers alone, not among others she had bought in a pool with fellow McDonald's employees - a point her colleagues disputed and a mother of seven in Baltimore, who claimed she was a Mega Millions winner, has told a Washington television station she "misplaced" her ticket. Mirlande Wilson, 37, a Haitian immigrant who works as an assistant manager at a McDonald's fast-food outlet, touched off a media frenzy this week when she declared herself among the winners.
