Dispute Over One of Three Winning Lottery Tickets

Mirlande Wilson, a thirty-seven year old employee of a Maryland McDonald’s, claims she holds one of last week’s three winning Mega Millions lottery tickets. However, Wilson’s coworkers claim that the ticket was paid for by a lottery pool and that they are entitled to share in the wealth. While Wilson confirms she took part in a pool at work, she maintains she bought the winning lottery ticket on her own. Wilson has yet to claim her prize.
