Have we discussed this Mega Millions hot mess today?

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/mega-millions-winners-says-ticket-still-hidden-inside-160453864.html

The ticket is in a super duper secret place in McDonald's and the "winner" will only go back to retrieve the ticket when her angry co-workers calm the hell down. 

Re: Have we discussed this Mega Millions hot mess today?

  • How many super secret places can possibly exist inside a McDonald's?

    ETA: And let's hope it's well away from the deep fat fryers and such.

    Couple that with french fries that don't degenerate over several weeks, and we're in the seventh circle of hell, people.

    If I had a winning Mega Millions lotto ticket I would sleep and shower with it. Hiding it at a McDs? C'mon. Next she'll claim it was stolen and she's owed the money anyway.
  • She hid it IN the store?!?!  Riiiigght....

    And to add to the drama, there is the mother of a guy who claims HE is the winner.  But he isn't claiming it "yet" because he wants to live w/o the notoriety for awhile longer (even though in MD you can stay anonymous...).

  • This story keeps getting more and more ridiculous.  How many super secret hiding places are there in a McDonalds for a safe?

    Have they identified which McDs she worked at?  I wonder if some enterprising theif will try and break in for the ticket...

  • Plus I'm extra salty about this because I didn't win! *shakes fist at sky*

  • I'm guessing that she is a lying liar who lies. But I feel sorry for the owner of the McDs. I would be terrified that someone would break in to try and find the ticket.

  • My coworker announced this morning, "this woman is p!ssing me off!" I thought she was talking about a client. Nope, she was talking about the hot mess of the mega millions "winner" in Maryland!

     

    ETA: since her coworkers hate her with the fire of a thousand suns, I assume she's going to be a jobless single mother of seven before long, without a winning lottery ticket, all so she could have 15 minutes of fame.

    Seriously. I think I would issue a press release claiming we'd swept the premises and the ticket is not there.

    Has anyone seen Lost in Younkers?  If so, doesn't this remind you a sheer tonnage of the scene where the grandma tells the boys where she had her money hiding the entire time?

  • Wasn't there a recent case settled about a similar situation? I wish I could find a link...but I think it was an office/workplace pool where someone ran off with all the $$$ and the rest sued & won.  I'll try to find it.

  • She is a liar with pants on fire.

    IF she has a winning ticket, and IF that ticket was really her personal ticket and not part of the work pool purchase, then why is it locked away at work, with the other group tickets, hmmm?

    This does not bode well for her claim.

    Ahh - isn't that special. He's going to put a cool mil in Bobo's account right away.

    The ticket is in McDonald's. No, the winner is in Glenn Burnie. I predict there will be a 3rd winner coming out of Dundalk in 3....2.....1

    Right. Wasn't the 'original story' that there was an workpool with tickets put in the safe but at the last minute her boss gave her more money to buy more tickets? She bought the work tickets and some personal tickets, took them all home, and one of her personal tickets won.  Her winning personal ticket should be at home, not in a safe at McDonalds. According the version I read, only the work pool tickets should be in the safe.

  • The Yahoo! comments are priceless.

    "McLoser"  bwahahahhaha

  • I'm guessing the real winner in MD is thrilled right now that no one suspects him.

    Serious question. Who would actually be able to calm the hell down? I would have broken into her house by now and DEMANDED the ticket, but I am a heathen so..........

    You know those employees ripped through every shred of that place after hours - that's probably why the manager is calling her a liar. That said, it is confirmed the ticket was purchased 4 hours before the drawing and the manager said she never came-back. Bobo's son's story sounds full of it too.

    That's why I'm LOLing so hard at what she said. The moment she steps foot in there and her co-workers see her, they will stab her with their pitchforks.

    No, they will be nice because they need her to get the ticket, THEN they will shank her.
