It's last call for the lucky holder of a Mega Millions second tier winner who purchased the ticket in Timonium.
The owners of the 7-Eleven franchise on Beaver Dam Road in Timonium have all but given up hope on meeting the winner of a $250,000 Mega Millions ticket that was sold at their store. The ticket was one of five winners sold on March 30—the same day the three Marylanders won a record-breaking $656 million Mega Millions grand prize. Now the deadline to claim the second-tier prize is quickly approaching. The ticket must be claimed by Friday, Sept. 28 at 4:30 p.m. Three of the four second-tier winners in Maryland were claimed in Baltimore, Boonsboro and Bel Air, although the ticket purchased in Timonium remains at large. "It's very uncommon," Erica Palmisano, a Maryland Lottery spokeswoman said. Only three big money tickets since 1986 have gone…

According to the Maryland Lottery officials, the winners of the historic $656 million jackpot watched the lottery news unfolding, came up with a plan, and went to the lottery headquarters in Baltimore with a financial adviser.
On March 30, a 20-year-old public school employee found a winning Mega Millions lottery ticket among the 60 she had spread out on the floor. "Once I realized one was a winner, I called my two friends right away," she said in a Maryland Lottery news release Tuesday. The three have decided to remain anonymous. She and another winner, a man in his 40s, went over to the third friend's house—a woman in her 50s—to plan how to claim their winnings, the release states. The three friends, all public school employees, had gone in on a pool together to purchase the 60 tickets for the historic $656 million Mega Millions jackpot, lottery officials said. They bought the Maryland winning ticket earlier that evening at the 7-Eleven located at 8014 …

Marlinde Wilson, the woman who says she has the winning Mega Millions lottery ticket sold at the 7-Eleven in Milford Mill, was present Wednesday during a press conference with her attorney.
Maryland Lottery spokeswoman Carole Everett told Pikesville Patch Wednesday afternoon that no one has yet come forward with the winning Mega Millions lottery ticket sold Friday at a Milford Mill 7-Eleven. Meanwhile, Baltimore resident Marlinde Wilson, who reportedly is an immigrant of Haiti and mother of seven children, still maintains she has that ticket. On Wednesday morning, Wilson and her attorney held a press conference. Wilson did not speak, according to a FOX News report, but her attorney Edward Smith asked the media "to not pester his client." He said her claim is "a legitimate claim," but he has not seen the ticket, the report states. Wilson allegedly bought Mega Millions lottery tickets for herself and a pool of coworkers at the …

A Haitian immigrant who is the mother of seven and works at a Westport McDonald's told the New York Post that she has the winning Mega Millions ticket sold in Milford Mill.
UPDATE (1:39 p.m.)—A Westport McDonald's employee says she's the one who bought the winning Mega Millions ticket at the 7-Eleven in Milford Mill. Marlinde Wilson said she bought one for herself individually and also some in a pool with others at the McDonald's, according to a New York Post report. She plans to turn in the ticket Monday, the report states; however, "Pressed as the day went on, she became more cagey." "I don’t know if I won," she said in The Post. "Some of the numbers were familiar. I recognized some of [them]. “I don’t know why’’ people are saying differently. “I’m going to go to the lottery office [today]. I bought some tickets separately.” Carole Everett, director of communications for Mega Millions, told Pikesville …

Maryland Lottery officials said four $250,000 tickets were sold in Maryland—including at the Redner's Warehouse Market at 2126 N. Fountain Green Road.
Yeah, OK, someone from Baltimore County may have won a third of that $640 million Mega Millions prize on Friday. But another golden ticket was purchased in Harford County and is worth $250,000. Maryland Lottery spokeswoman Erica Palmisano said Saturday that four tickets worth a quarter of a million were sold in Maryland—including at the Redner's Warehouse Market at 2126 N. Fountain Green Road. (CORRECTION: A previous version of this article incorrectly identified Redner's address.)
Ticket holder has still not been identified, but curious neighbors and reporters have been visiting the 7-Eleven that sold the winning ticket.
UPDATED (4:45 p.m.)—Typically, 7-Eleven stores draw customers from within a half-mile radius, a spokeswoman said. That means the winner likely lives quite close to the convenience store in the 8000 block of Liberty Road that sold one of the three winning tickets for the $640 million Mega Millions lottery on Friday. On Saturday, neighbors and reporters descended on the Milford Mill 7-Eleven for the unlikely possibility that the winner might show up. Four other winning tickets worth $250,000 were also sold in Maryland—at a 7-Eleven at 9709 Beaver Dam Road in Timonium, at a 7-Eleven on Harford Road in the city, at a Redner's Warehouse Market in Bel Air and in Boonsboro, according to lottery spokeswoman Erica Palmisano. One Milford Mill 7-…
One Maryland resident may have woken up at least $105 million richer.
UPDATE (1:46 p.m.)—This week friends, neighbors and colleagues have been asking the same question: what would I do if I won hundreds of millions of dollars overnight? The fantasy may have become a reality for someone you know. Maryland Lottery officials learned early Saturday that one of three winnng tickets in Friday night's record-breaking Mega Millions drawing was sold in Baltimore County. “This is truly remarkable and historic,” lottery Director Stephen Martino said in a statement. “We can’t wait to greet the winner of this world-record setting jackpot.” The other winning tickets were sold in Illinois and Kansas, meaning three people will split the $656 million jackpot. That works out to a $218.6 million annuity ($5.59 million per year…
