Who refuse to answer just about every question during an extremely bizarre news conference today.

That ticket is worth somewhere north of a hundred million dollars.
Here's the big check Maryland's waiting to give the winner it shows the total before taxes.
Now despite the co workers claims that this woman bought the ticket is part of a pool.
She was apparently refusing to split the winnings.
And according to the New York Post which is owned by our parent company the woman then claimed she had the ticket somewhere inside the McDonald's hit -- there.
Today her lawyer called this big news conference that's the alleged winner in that sweet swine -- -- hat there.
