Woman ‘Lost’ a $105M Lottery Ticket!
Mirlande Wilson and her lawyer
Ok, this story might sound a bit convoluted, but we have been following the drama since it began, so we shall try our hardest to make it as understandable as possible. A Mega Millions draw was announced last Friday in America. McDonald's employee and Haitian immigrant, Mirlande Wilson came forward to say she had one of the three winning tickets.
It was claimed at first some workers put money in a pool to buy the lottery tickets. Then the mega draw was announced and Mirlande Wilson came forward to say she was one of the three winners. The 37-year-old then told a paper earlier this
week that she hid the ticket at the McDonald's restaurant she worked at, and she bought the winning ticket with a lucky dollar she found on the ground and not through
the work pool, much to the chagrin of her coworkers.
Co-workers are not smiling
The latest gist now is that she said she has lost the ticket. According to her, she is leaving the discovery of the ticket in the hands of God: 'It’s a blessing from God. If it’s meant to be, we’ll [find and] claim the ticket.'
But the mother-of-seven's coworkers aren't so sure she's telling the truth. Another colleague told the Post: 'I don’t believe her. I didn’t believe her from the beginning, she’s always been strange. 'She’s an attention seeker. She likes to have all the attention on herself.'
Her daughter Stephanie also revealed that her
mother would not even allow them to look for the ticket. 'I wanted to look for it, I was crying. She
wouldn’t let us. It’s a lot of money,', the 15-year-old
said.
On her Facebook page, Ms Wilson has pledged to donate all of the winnings to rebuild her earthquake-ravaged native Haiti. She wrote: 'All my true friend know im not greedy a person [sic] i don't want da money it made my life a living hell already im gonna give it all to rebuild haiti yall [sic] can chase all want my life and, my children it more important for money [sic].'
Is this a cry for help?
