BALTIMORE (AP) — A woman who has claimed to have Maryland’s winning Mega Millions ticket now says she has lost it.

Mirlande Wilson of Baltimore told WRC-TV in Washington she would claim the jackpot if she finds the ticket.

Wilson had previously said she hid the ticket at the McDonald’s where she works.

One of three winning tickets for the record-breaking $656 million prize was sold at a 7-Eleven in Milford Mill. The others were sold in Kansas and Illinois. So far, no one has produced a winning ticket.

  • CREDIT CARD REFORM.  Under Obama, abusive credit card companies are no longer protected.  With the final set of provisions of the credit card reforms taking effect in 2010, the deceptive “fine print” of credit card agreements is no more.  Credit card users can opt out of certain terms.  Millions of consumers will have more time to pay their monthly bills, avoid retroactive interest rate increases, receive more notice of changes to credit card terms.  Predatory lending costs American borrowers $25 billion each year, and the poor, African-Americans and Latinos are particularly susceptible to fraudulent practices and higher interest rates.
