story throughout the morning. maryland general assembly's regular session has come to an end, state lawmakers still have a lot of work to do the legislature could continue in a regular session. after 90 days they passed a bare bones budget that contained spending cuts but not revenue increases they could not reach an agreement before the session ended lawmakers failed to approve a measure that would expand gambling in the state of maryland this is the first time in two decades the maryland legislature hasn't completed work on the budget during a regular session. another big story this morning that mega millions jackpot in maryland finally after nearly two weeks of drama we may have a real winner. >> lottery officials say someone has come forward with a winning ticket. melanie alnwick is live in baltimore with new developments good morning. >> reporter: good morning allison well, we do know the

winning ticket was purchased on the day of the drawing, that was friday march 30th and we also know it was purchased at that 7 eleven store in milford mill maryland but will not learn the identity the person wishes to remain anonymous. they are planning to hold a press conference an hour from now they do promise they have a wonderful story about the true maryland mega millions winner, the person who had the winning ticket presented that ticket to lottery headquarters here on monday, we do know it is not the mcdonald's shift manager who got a lot of attention for herself last week when she claimed she got the winning ticket and then that she misplaced it. the winner according to lottery officials went into that 7 eleven in milford mills maryland and went and got a

quick pick ticket, paid just $1, bought nothing else and walked out a former lottery director said it is not unusual for drama to surround a jackpot this big. >> when there is a big mega millions or power ball jackpot an exciting lottery game you often have people who come forward looking for publicity trying to get their 15 minutes of fame. >> reporter: but then you also have a lot of winners who do want to keep their identity a secret for obvious reasons we know in addition, the kansas winner has said that he or she wishes to remain anonymous the winner in illinois however will not have that option because illinois law requires a big jackpot winner to basically show their faces to prove that the money actually went to a real person, that illinois winner has not come forward yet the other interesting thing all three winners have in common they all used the quick pick the select their winning numbers.

allison and tony back to you. >> note to self, use quick pick. checking some of our other top stories a man is dead after police involved shooting inland over maryland. last night authorities say a prince georges county police officer approached three suspects acting suspiciously and they all ran off the officer ran after them and caught up with one of the suspects after a struggle, the officer attempted to phase that person the suspectallegedly reached for a gun an officer is on routine administrative leave pending investigation. charges may soon be filed in the death of a 6-year-old in clinton maryland who accidentally shot himself the little boy found a gun in a book bag and accidentally shot himself, he later died at a local hospital this all unfolded yesterday afternoon at the home he was staying in, in arbutus lane. police say the book bag was owned by an unrelated 20-year-

old man also staying at that house. any weapon inside of a home has to be secured, and it can't be stored in a way that allows access to other people particularly young children and that didn't occur here the day so there are some very obvious violations of the law that occurred. >> i don't think you should have them with kids regardless,. >> reporter: police are working with the state's attorneys office to figure out what charges may apply in the case. new developments in the trayvon martin case george zimmerman the neighbourhood watch captain who said he shot the unarmed black teen in self- defense will not be charged with first degree murder but could still face manslaughter charges after the special prosecutor assigned to the case decided not to take the case to the grand jury. this morning zimmerman is

putting out a public plea for help with his legal defense he has a website the real george zimmerman.com asking for donations giving his side of the story his attorneys confirmed the authenticity of the site he writes again quote as a result of the incident and subsequent media coverage i have been forced to leave my home, school, employer, family and ultimately my entire life he said he needs help paying for his attorneys and his living expenses. we are going to talk more about the trayvon martin case including what charges if any zimmerman would face coming up 7:30 a.m. and more on why the special prosecutor decided not to take this to a grand jury. two men charged in a shooting rampage in tulsa oklahoma, confessed to the crime 19-year-old jake england said he shot three people and alvin watts shot two.

a million dollar as year even if they are taxed on investment income for some that could double what they pay. the white house acknowledges that it won't do much to change the nations finances, it is estimated to raise $47 billion or so over the next 10 years, at the same time the government racks up another $7 trillion in debt and the senate is likely to shoot the idea down next week but does allow the president to go after one wealthy investor in particular, mitt romney, who says now is not the time to raise taxes on anyone. >> tax increases make it harder for businesses to hire. >> reporter: republicans call it class warfare but with income taxes coming due in a few days the obama campaign sees it as an issue that will resonate with tax payervoters. if it is a carefully crafted campaign message after the president speaks about this in florida, he will attend three

annapolis, 39 in leonard town, all right want to mention, red flag warning once again in effect today, goes into effect at noon combination of low humidity, gusty winds they will gust today to 30, 35 miles per hour that combination not good particularly when we have been so dry, as we have around here for the past several months really since march 1st picked up an inch of rain conditions conducive to rapidly growing fires, be careful gain later today those winds will only make things worse. satellite radar otherwise a decent looking day lots of sunshine for the first half clouds fill in a little later this afternoon as flow will be out of the north and west you can't see it here but a big upper level low over the great lakes and we will see, energy come down and we are hoping during the day tomorrow we can get enough energy into the washington area, enough lift we

then this will just go to her office she will make the decision whether to charge george zimmerman or not, but can you straighten out details exactly what goes into a decision like this, to not have a grand jury. >> sure let's understand what grand juries do all they are are big juries they have 23 people and they investigate crimes and then they can charge people with crimes and the standard is probable cause a lot lower than what is needed for conviction which is proof beyond a reasonable doubt but a prosecutor can do the same thing she can investigate and charge, florida, the law is only if it is first degree murder, that is like a capitol offence, premeditated murder so it is more likely that the charge here, if there is one will be manslaughter or another degree of murder but means nothing about whether or not there will be a prosecution. >> the woman's name is angela corey, special prosecutor here does she have a history of this? what do we know about her. >> she is a hard core

prosecutors prosecutor which for people who want there to be a prosecution, that is good news and this is also not unusual she said she doesn't like to use grand juries because she is capable of doing all of this on her own you know normally a grand jury will do whatever the prosecutor wants the famous expression is it will endiet a ham sandwich if the prosecutor asks it to in this case there has been concern maybe if she believes there should be a special prosecution because this case is so controversial, grand jurors might not actually go the same way especially in sanford, so this is more protection the decision will be hers and hers alone. >> as far as george zimmerman goes his lawyers seem to welcome this. are you surprised by that? >> well, for them, i think it doesn't mean anything more than what it means for people who want there to be a prosecution it means the decision isn't going to be made by a group of people from the community rather by special prosecutor. >> okay when should we see a

decision, charges filed, when should we see some movement on that? >> some news reports said there might be an arrest this week she said she is taking her time she is doing a careful investigation because you know the interest is not only in an arrest for people who want there to be some kind of justice here, but also, if there is an arrest, there needs to be a good case, a lot of people are looking for some kinds of conviction frankly, consequences for people who think mr. zimmerman is guilty, this is the stage where she can kind of plan her case, carefully, so, there shouldn't be you know we never want to rush to judgment especially in a case like this. >> we have seen george zimmerman start a website, also taking donations for his legal defense here, what does this tell you paul? chef >> it tells me he doesn't have a lawyer now because no lawyer will let him do this the way he is doing it procedurally there is nothing wrong with it, he is not entitled to a government paid for lawyer during this stage of the investigation but

desperately needs one he is smart to want to get a very good lawyer but he is a little tone deaf for example he said on the website this is a life altering experience obviously it has been a little more life altering for trayvon he is not public relations savvy and not expected to be but needs to be guided by someone people are looking at him if there is a prosecution a lot of folks will remember this. >> right. professor paul butler you know we will have you back to help us go through as this case moves on it has been so i guess, even judged in the media, by people, such a highly charged case we appreciate you coming in. >> always a pleasure. >> of course, professor butler is at george washing phone law school. 7:38 a.m., traffic alert for drivers in northern virginia, still ahead why you might want to avoid parts of 395 during certain hours, all this week. >> in a move to combat the rise

8:00 a.m. on tuesday morning we are showing you a live picture from maryland lottery headquarters baltimore we are waiting a news conference there where after days of drama we expect to learn more about the true winner of that mega millions jackpot. felt like weeks of drama. also ahead maryland lawmakers may not be ready to take a gamble on table games in the state's casinos or the go ahead for a casino in prince georges county. how about what you pay in taxes just ahead the major work they

left undone at the legislative session as it came to a close. >> ladies before you get your next manicure what you should know about what is in that nail polish it may not be good for you or people putting it on your nails good morning i am tony perkins >> i am allison seymour welcome back to fox 5 morning news in the 8:00 a.m. hour let's listen to the press conference now. >> have worked together for many years n the public school system, of the state of maryland. it is the first time that the three friends had pooled their money together, one described themselves as a frequent numbers player of the maryland lottery, the other -- another one described themselves as an occasional scratch ticket player and the third, was essentially a nonplayer of the lottery except when the jackpots got really high, and she thought $656 million was sufficiently high, to play in

this jackpot. the trio each contributed $20 to the pool purchased 60 tickets total, one of the members purchased all of the tickets, at three different locations, retailer, in baltimore city, at a retail inner another county, and then at a third retailer that of course sold the winning ticket in baltimore county. a little color for what happened that night, that night, the woman who had purchased the tickets laid all the tickets out on her floor, watched the numbers be drawn, and then after seeing that in fact one of theirwin tickets had -- winning tickets had the winning numbers and after collecting herself from a state of disbelief contacted one of the other participants in the

group, they then called and had to wake up the third participant told this individual they were coming over, they thought the third participant thought that perhaps they were playing an early april fools joke on her but arrived at her home, some time midnight 1:00 a.m. in the morning, they all just kind of collected themselves looked over the ticket, they made a copy of the ticket, and they each sign add copy of the ticket from there the woman with purchased the ticket took it -- the woman who purchased the ticket took it to a relatives house where it was placed in a safe the next day or actually late that night maybe 3, 4:00 a.m., one of the participants contacted a baltimore area financial advisor, and made connection with him, to begin the process

of planning how they were going to claim this money and what they were going to do with it. in the intervening time it has also been explained to us there has been contact with attorneys to help them deal with the issue, from that, we had an opportunity to visit with them yesterday about what they plan to do while they don't have all their plans laid out for the money, here is a sense of what they told us what they plan to do, for one, they hope to take a backpacking trip through europe, with their brother, another winner wants to pay for his daughters college education and buy his sister a new house the other or another winner would like to go and tour

italy's wine country. all three plan to invest their money and at some point in time purchase new homes. all three winners work multiple jobs, one of them works two full time jobs and if i didn't say now would be an important time to highlight, that one of the winners is an elementary school teacher, another winner is a special education teacher, and the third winner provides administrative support all in the public school system of maryland. again, one of them works two full time jobs, another has a part-time job and a third has two other part-time jobs. all of them indicated they would continue and the teachers all said they plan at this point in time to remain public school teachers, not just

complete this school year but going forward. the state of maryland will receive $13 million in revenue from the claim, having split it three ways the after tax claim for each of the winners comes out to $34.997 million this is the second claim of the mega millions jackpot, and the kansas winner came forward on friday, i have -- don't believe the illinois winner has come forward yet. finally, let me just say, a couple things i think more personal observation about these winners, we were particularly pleased that these folks were able to come in, in the way they did, they were modest, they were i think

humbled by this stroke of luck that they have received, i think at times they were a bit overwhelmed. i would also say that we certainly understand that when people play the lottery, they want to win, you want to win, however, if it can't be you, these are precisely the people that you would want to see win the lottery, and it happened. finally, everyone in maryland takes pride in the state education system we are particularly proud of the fact that for four straight years maryland's public schools have been judged the best of all the states so that people who have participated and dedicated themselves to that system, were able to share in this winning, makes it even more rewarding

for us. so thank you very much, we would be happy to answer any questions you might have. >> what did they say about the fact they didn't want to come forward, did they explain to you why they were concerned about this? >> let me maybe start here, the initial contact we received was probably mid-morning friday, from the financial advisor, he called me, and had just indicated the out set they were not interested in doing publicity, as i said earlier i think that you know they were very cheerful yesterday by think there was an element of them being a bit overwhelmed by the e norty of what it meant -- enormity of what it meant and publicity in light of what happened last week they were watching the news and had seen what was being said which was more than what they wanted to go through they were very

generous with their time gave us a lot of information we could get out there about who they are what they do, they even acknowledged there was -- they thought there would be interest in their story and just who were these people who won, this enormous jackpot, but it was not something personally they wanted to participate in. >> you say maryland public schools -- >> all right we have been listening to a press conference being held by the officials at the maryland state lottery that was steven martino there, the maryland lottery director the winners blew real have come forward, three -- plural, three winners who have come forward just sounds like as he was saying the you yourself couldn't win these are the type of people you would want to win the lottery, they are not coming they are not releasing their names they don't want to be known publicly want to remain anonymous but each of the three will receive after

taxes roughly $35 million >> i love that they are teachers work in public schools in maryland it is a great story >> i wish you all the pluck the world. >> absolutely good for you -- luck in the world. >> absolutely good for you congratulations. >> tucker barnes is with us with an update on this mornings weather. >> the rest of that press conference is streaming live myfoxdc.com. >> to think i was only six numbers off. >> and the mega ball. >> oh, well. >> let's get to our numbers, these are winners too. no money associated with it. >> imagine if it was the three of us who won. >> oh, man that would be great >> they are going to stay on their jobs though. >> we will see how long that lasts. they are very dedicated. 73%, winds out of the south and west, 5 miles per hour cooler, our highs in the low 60s winds back later this afternoon so that red flag warning returning at 12 noon sentinel radar, no

vice president. >> no, i think with you have to look at in the -- what you have to look at in the vice presidential choices what does romney need to win it will probably be a closed election he will need independent voters in a big swing state like ohio. >> he will need independent voters does he not need to shore up that conservative wing, some of whom question his potential >> that would be a second dare factor they are not -- secondary factor they are not going to vote for obama, i think they are pretty opener geezed he has to worry mostly, -- energized, he has to worry mostly, the serious gender gap his standing has fallen during the primary he has a lot of ground to make up he will have to make up a lot more ground once he has the nomination soy think he has to go -- those independent voters are critical in 6 or 7 key states. >> it is face nateing whenever

you come to this and choosing a vice presidential candidate because theoretically it should be someone who can step into the president's shoe ifs need be but really it is more about winning the election >> it is about winning the election although i think as john mccain learned if you get some body so patently not prepared that will hurt you so you've got -- i think it still is a test particularly after sarah palin a test for voters how responsible is the presidential candidate. i think that is more of a factor that it has been because of what happened with palin. >> let's talk about potentials on capitol hill you have identified. >> people talk about senator rubio from florida, who is indeed a very attractive candidate, and would give romney a little div.ty on the ticket he -- diverse on the ticket he really is as white as white can be on this campaign.

rubio it is perceived might draw some latino votes though i think, the latino community is more complicated than people realize, and rubio is cuban ancestry i am not sure how that will play in places like new mexico and colorado, i think some body like senator portman from ohio, in terms of some body who could take over some body who has an appeal to independence possibly, basically a moderate guy, good track record, good on budget that sort of thing, safe candidate, won't cause any problems might not bring a lot of people onboard, probably will help a lot in ohio. >> what about a paul ryan, eric cantor. >> cantor no, he has too much identification with the right, i don't think people on the hill trust cantor and i don't know romney would trust cantor on the ticket with him paul

ryan, probably make a wonderful presidential candidate however he is very much identified with some issues it is possible romney may want to de-emphasize like reform with medicare and medicaid, social security things that could weigh heavily in states like florida so ryan i don't know why he would want to give up his very strategic, powerful seat in the house like right now he is a member of the house he would have to give -- he couldn't run for reelects. >> seems to me it is not terribly likely any likelihood he would choose any of the people he has been running against? >> no one thing -- not polenti is a possibility who also brings some -- might help with the religious right but santorum and gingrich, no definitely not. >> all right. there is a fascinating article about this fred is cowriter of on the cover of cq weekly goes

their identities out. here is what the director told us the trio is made up of a woman in her 20s man in his 40s woman in her 50s one is a special ed teacher one an elementary teacher one does add min support this is is first time the three of them have pooled money together for a lot we, each put in $20, and they bought 60 tickets. >> that night, the woman who had purchased the tickets, laid all the tickets out on her floor, watched the numbers be drawn, and then after seeing that in fact one of their winning tickets had the winning numbers and after i think collecting herself from a state of disbelief, contacted one of the other participants in the group, they then called and had to wake up the third participant, told this individual they were coming

over, they thought -- the third participant thought perhaps they were playing an early april fools joke on her,. >> you can imagine, you would probably thing it was an april fools joke well, it turns out also we had information earlier, that all they had done was purchase one ticket at one location turns out now they actually purchased $20 worth of tickets at three locations but the winning location is the same, that 7 eleven we have been talking about all morning winners elected to take cash payments lump sums, $34.997 million each it will be deposited into their accounts in 7 to 10 days the other thing so they bought 60 tickets one of them was the winner when they came here to the lottery the official said well, do you want us to check your other tickets they did and out of the remaining 59 tickets they only won, $1. >> wow. >> amazing. >> so melanie just to be clear,
