Three Maryland educators share in Mega Millions winnings
Three Maryland public school educators have come forward to claim their share of the record-breaking Mega Millions jackpot. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving profession! ----------------------- Stephen Martino, director of the Maryland Lottery, said Tuesday the winners wish to remain anonymous and few details about their identities were made available, except that the winners were a woman in her 20s, a man in his 40s, and a woman in her 50s. They pooled their money and bought 60 tickets, each spending $20 at three Maryland locations, including the 7-Eleven on Liberty Road in Milford Mill where the winning ticket was purchased at 7:15 p.m. March 30.Each will have about $35 million wired into their bank account within the next 10 days.All three told lottery officials they plan to continue working despite winning the jackpot. The winners include a special education teacher, an elementary school teacher and an administrator. Lottery officials said they do not work in the same school, but declined to say which district they work for.

at the risk of sounding like a biotch, i'm VERY happy to see it's finally not some toothless nutjob who won
Same here. These people seem to like what they do and have heads on their shoulders.

Honestly, I think they should quit. There are so many teachers out of work, they should open up spots for 3 of them. They can always volunteer at their schools!
So, now does the McDonald's chick say they found her ticket???
The school year is almost over, so it's not like they have a long time left. If it was me, I'd probably still be in shock and want to continue as much normalcy as possible. I think it would be easier to fly under the radar if they finished out the school year, than being the teacher who left school right after a local had a winning lottery ticket. There would be less of a chance of coworkers speculating.

Lol. Seriously!

Well, obviously these teachers eat their breakfast in McDonalds and found the hidden ticket!
Has nutjob come forward to explain this yet? Even more puzzling, how did she pay that lawyer who handled her press conference? He wouldn't be stupid enough to bill her, would he?
