Attorney For Alleged Mega Millions Winner Cannot Say That The Ticket Exists
CBS DC ^ | 4 April 2012

Posted on 04/04/2012 3:15:36 PM PDT by bjorn14

The intrigue surrounding a Maryland woman who claims to have won last week’s record-breaking Mega Millions jackpot intensified Wednesday as her attorney held a press conference in Baltimore that yielded few answers.

Attorney Edward Smith, who represents alleged winner Marlinde Wilson, told reporters he had not seen the winning ticket, nor did he want to during the 20-minute long session with the media.

“I cannot say with any certainty that this ticket exists,” said Smith.

Previously, the 37-year-old Wilson told the New York Post she stashed the ticket in a location that only she knew about inside the McDonald’s restaurant where she worked.

“Previously, the 37-year-old Wilson told the New York Post she stashed the ticket in a location that only she knew about inside the McDonald’s restaurant where she worked.”

Is any part of that restaurant still left standing?

“Not only have I not seen the winning ticket, I do not want to see it because there is no reason under the sun for me to see it.”

If the ticket doesn't exist the lawyer would not get paid. My guess is that she made up the story and will sue McDonald's claiming she left the ticket at the restaurant and McDonald's took it.

Lawyer hopes McDonald's settles out of court. A quick payday for a lying sociopath and her slimy lawyer.

This will be fun to watch. If this woman really IS the winner... you’re going to observe just how fast someone can burn through $100M and have nothing left to show for it.

Does that mean I can just say I won too if I do not have to surrender the ticket?

That poor store owner better surround the place with armed guards for when the homies show up with bulldozers and backhoes. Am I allowed to say ‘backhoes?’

Immigration status doesn't matter to Lottery officials. I have seen illegals win prizes before. I will bet either she lost it or it never had it to begin with. Either way she will need something to pay her lawyer with unless she is betting Al and Jesse will ride to her rescue

If you get an electronic mail offering to sell you the tresure map to Marlinde’s Millions, treat it with caution. There are a lot of fake ones out there.

I don’t see a problem here. I mean, if someone born a male can be referred to and treated as a woman because he says he “identifies as a woman”, why shouldn’t Ms. Wilson get the money for saying she identifies as the winner?

Oh this gets better by the day. She was part of a pool at McD’s and bought the tickets for the pool. When she saw the winner it looks like she now claims she bought it separate for herself.

There is mega millions of stupidity and greed to go around at that McD’s

Don’t lottery winners have to submit the winning ticket by a date certain or they forfeit the winnings?
