to you. big story this morning three people have come forward with the mega million winning ticket in maryland. >> melanie alnwick is live in baltimore with more on the big winners hey, melanie. >> reporter: hi tony, well, it wasn't anybody at fox 5 but three employees who worked together, at what we are told is a maryland public school they wouldn't tell us even which county, which school system, these three employees were from but we know the lottery director described them as modest, as humbled by their stroke of luck and also as you can imagine a bit overwhelmed they will each take a lump sum payment of $35 million, lottery officials say the trio is calling themselves, the three amigos a woman in her 20s man in his 40s and a woman in her 50s. one is an elementary teacher one a special education teacher one we are told provides
9:02 am
administrative support it is the first time these three have come together and pooled their money each put in $20 the tickets were purchased at three locations in the baltimore area, with the winning ticket sold at that 7 eleven in milford mills the night of the drawing the 20-year-old woman had all 60 tickets spread out in front of her watching as the numbers came across and then she had to frantically call and wake up her friends the other two, when she realized they had won. >> they made a copy of the ticket and they each signed a copy of the ticket from there, the woman who purchased the ticket, took it to a relatives house, where it was placed in a safe, the next day or actually i think late that night, so maybe three, four in the morning one participant contacted a baltimore area financial advisor, and made connection
9:03 am
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,. >> reporter: we are told one plans to pay for a child's college tuition, they are talking about backpacking together through europe to celebrate their win another wants to go to italy all plan to buy new homes at some time in the future and the lottery director said for now, all of them do plan to stay at their jobs they want to continue teaching he said because they didn't want to leave the kids and the lottery director added if you couldn't win yourself these are the kind of people you would want to see win this jackpot back to you >> sounds like they have done the smart thing hire add financial advisor, gotten a lawyer involved good for them. in other news this morning maryland lawmakers may have to go back to work this week in a
9:04 am
special session. they adjourned their 90 day regular session last night without approving a revenue plan needed to avoid big budget cuts that would kick in in july that included whether to raise taxes on people making more than $100,000 a year lawmaker failed to take action on a bill for gambling in the state we will take a closer look at this at 9:15 a.m. >> eric holder has said numerous times there is no proof our elections are marred with voter fraud so a group decided to do an experiment and get the evidence they needed on primary day in the district take a listen. >> do you have an eric holder. >> okay. there. >> i actually forgot my id. >> you don't need it, it's all right. >> you don't need it as long as you are here on our list that is who you say you are. >> the video showed a perfect
9:05 am
stranger walks in and just asked if they had an eric holder the poll worker placed a mark next to eric holders name and offered him his ballot to vote this is all part of project veritop, investigates voter fraud in america. james o'keefe of the project thanks for joinings. >> good morning. >> so you targeted eric holders precinct on primary day in the district what led you to do this, under cover investigation? >> we wanted to expose the vulnerabilities of the voting system to potential fraud, weaknesses in the system we have done this in new hampshire, minnesota, vermont in two of those states, state legislature changed the law after our videos, and we decided to go after the belly of the beast so to speak and start going after -- exposing government officials in the
9:06 am
district and their ballots being compromised. >> so do you feel, sir there is widespread voter fraud? what is your pro significance on this topic? >> -- position on this topic? >> you can see the system is broken and needs to be reformed some how, the analogy i like to make is a bank, a bank of all the doors just swung wide open and anybody can go in there and take money out take other people's money and i think, any other situation it would be changed in this situation something needs to happen it is not right for someone to just walk in there and almost obtain the attorney general's ballot there needs to be some type of security provision to secure people's voting ballots. >> do you feel this is widespread, was this done i know you did it in other states but here in the district for example was it done other than with the video we are seeing? >> yes, there is more tapes more instances of other people, not just attorney general eric
9:07 am
holder but other political people as well as media people in the washington dc area who live in dc, their ballots compromised we are going to release those video tapes shortly. >> we will look forward to that. department of justice official responded to the video i will read it for you he said it is no coincidence the examples of rampant voter fraud, continue to be manufactured ones what do you say to that? >> first of all the department of justice required id to get into their buildings, but i guess they are having problems people in their buildings but i think it is funny the only way you can actually catch voter fraud according to them if you video tape yourself and have a full confession and put it on youtube that is the only way we can catch people committing voter fraud even when you do that they will say those tapes are manufactured yes, they are produced you create them and put them on youtube but it is a ridiculous cop out and we are
9:08 am
going to continue experimenting. >> there are strict penalties for anyone trying to really do this, go through with it, five years in prison, $10,000 fine and the stakes are the same at the federal level when they are presidential or congressional, contests up for grabs, do you thing that is not enough of a safety net as far as voter fraud goes? >> well, in society we have a lot of different ways of deterring crime, preventing it i don't think we should wait until people are you know, have committed these crimes and some type of large scale you know heist before we -- we should still secure like i said secure the bank vault door make sure the money isn't just dangling out there for anybody to take. i think just the fact that our federal election system is so compromised, so vulnerable, that on its face is reason enough to reform it i don't think i need to show you, you know thousands and thousands of
9:09 am
video tapes i have already shown four states where dead people are registered to vote in new hampshire, tim tebow and tom brady getting registered to vote in minnesota where they don't live, i think that is enough to show you the system is compromised. >> james o'keefe, we appreciate you joining us by phone. >> thank you very much. thank you allison. there appears to be a gender gap for the likely presidential candidates president obama is having a hard time attracting male voters, mitt romney's deficit with female voters is even deeper 43% of men approved of the job the president was doing, 51% disproved, the numbers are practically flipped for women, usa today gallup poll in 12 vital swing states shows president obama leading mitt romney with women voters 54-36. president's health care overhaul could add billions of
9:10 am

welcome back maryland general assembly ended its 90 day session without approving a revenue plan needed to avoid $250 million in budget cuts. the lack of action meant a sew called doomsday budget is in place for the fiscal year beginning july 1st balanced entirely through hundreds of millions of dollars in cuts, house and senate leaders said they would ask governor o'malley to call a special session to resolve financial issues, joining us now david hill with the washington times. >> good morning. >> first let's talk about this special session how likely are we to see a special session. >> it is clear that no one in charge really is happy with the cuts, the governor had the authority to call the special session and you know he was a little coy about it last night, but the president called on him to do it, the assumption is that it is -- >> in all likelihood it will
9:17 am
happen. >> mm-hmm. >> we talked about the cuts that would happen with this doomsday budget by july 1st, i guess the sense is no one really wants that to happen. all right. let me ask you this, this is something that we are used to seeing now on capitol hill where they can't come to an agreement, it is not something we commonly see in the maryland legislature. >> a little surprising, capitol hill is a little more balanced between democrats and republicans, generally there is a consensus over issues like this a real stale mate. >> do we think that they will be able to find some agreement, in essentially how to raise revenue, that seems to be what the stale mate is about. >> it appeared there was momentum yesterday, that puts it off to later in the evening but, the representative from both chambers did agree tentatively to a set of income
9:18 am
tax agreements they were almost there. >> so if a special session is convened, it seems possible they will be able to get something done. >> likely a lot of these proposals that failed at the last minute will come back and be top priority. >> let's talk about other thing that is are high focus over the last couple months, lack of action on expanding gambling in maryland, whether that involves adding table games to some of the existing casinos or even adding and building a new casino in prince georges county what happens next on that front? >> if the special session comes up that might be one of the first things out there, there was a lot of people in the senate and also people in prince georges wanted this to happen it would have to go to referendum in 2012 if they pass it. if they don't pass it at all you have to wait for 2014. >> there is a desire to at least see something happen to get it to referendum. >> yes. >> let's talk about something important to the governor, his
9:19 am
offshore energy bill, that failed to pass. >> yes. >> all right. so tell me what the repercussions from that will be? >> well, this is a relatively new technology a lot of states on the east coast, kind of jockeying for position but still concerns about cod last year it didn't pass either chamber, this year it passed the house. so the governor, i would imagine he might introduce it again next year in hopes of taking it one more level. >> the flush tax that went through, do we know now how that is likely to effect the typical maryland resident. >> pays $30 each year, that will be $60 starting next fiscal year. >> that is done, no stepping back from that. >> done. >> all right, finally, want to talk a little about gay marriage we know that passed, however, there is still the
9:20 am
issue of it possibly going to referendum. >> yes. been an assumption on both sides almost certain to go they need 55,000 signatures and if they get them by june 30th, then it will be on the ballot in november. >> all right very good so that is what we know we will keep our eyes open and see if we get this special session thing going on david hill maryland reporter from washington times thank you very much allison. >> coming up tony, metro riders could soon have a new unlimited option plus how cell phone companies want to protect you, if your phone is ever stolen first let's check back with holly. >> good morning allison we are helping chaw celebrate its 40th anniversary, and they are doing so with a special moment this weekend, it has to do with a hand dance we are going to get through the lesson in this hour plus some other things they have a part of the celebration live later fox 5 morning news stay with us l an ordinary breakfast pastry
