A Haitian immigrant along with her co-workers at McDonald’s chipped in a pool for the $656 Maryland Mega Millions lottery, and won. However, the worker who purchased the tickets took them home with her, and is refusing to pay her co-workers claiming she bought the ticket separate from the pool.
“We had a group plan, but I went and played by myself. [The ‘winning’ ticket] wasn’t on the group plan,” the Maryland Mega Millions winner’’ Mirlande Wilson 37, told The Post yesterday, insisting she independently bought the winning ticket.
Wilson had even called one of her co-workers to tell them that she won.
“I won! I won!” she cried, Allen said. “She said, ‘Turn on the news.’ She said she had won. I thought it was a joke or something. She doesn’t seem like a person who’d do this,” he said. To confirm she was telling the truth, Allen went to her house, pounding on the door until she opened.
“These people are going to kill you. It’s not worth your life!” Allen said.”
“All right! All right! I’ll share, but I can’t find the ticket right now,” she finally said, according to Allen.
Wilson told reporters that she has the ticket hidden in a secret location and would present it to lottery officials Monday. While Wilson is extremely happy over the win, her co-workers are in disbelief that she has no intentions on sharing the cash.
“She can’ t do this to us!” said Suleiman Osman Husein, a shift manager and one of 15 members in the pool. “We each paid $5. She took everybody’s money!”
