One of the winners of last week's $US640 million Mega Millions jackpot will not share the prize with her co-workers despite the group being in a syndicate together.

Mirlande Wilson says she purchased the winning ticket – now worth more than $US100 million – with her own money while also buying tickets for the syndicate she is in with her co-workers.

The syndicate is made up of 14 people who earn around seven US dollars an hour working for McDonalds.

CCTV footage reportedly shows the ticket being purchased from a nearby convenience store at around the same time Ms Wilson was sent by her co-workers to buy their tickets.

The co-workers are now demanding she split the winnings.

One of the workers is said to have warned Ms Wilson about her decision. "These people are going to kill you. It's not worth your life", he reportedly told her.

But the lucky winner, a Haitian immigrant and mother of seven, is remaining defiant.

"The winning ticket was a separate ticket”, she told The New York Post.

Americans spent the equivalent of five dollars for every single person in the country on last week's huge lottery draw.

Millions of people tuned in to the live draw, with all but three ticket holders walking away virtually empty handed.

Ms Wilson is said to have called the store where she works shouting "I’ve won! I’ve won!", after the draw.

Gee, she's black! What a surprise!

Black peoples' logic crack me up! They're all brother and sister this against every other race, but, they turn on their brothers and sisters over money every time, even if they're a couple and the relationship ends. It's a statistic that most young black men are killed at the hand of another young black male.

Instead of, "us", it becomes, "my" everything, "me, me, me". They know every penny they paid out, especially if they have a job. I love when Judge Mathis calls a guy a BMW, (black man working). If I said that, I'd be a racist!

When my law firm used to waste money on group tickets, we all got a photo copy of the tickets. I tried for years to get them to give me the money they were using for tickets every week.

Hell, a few hundred extra a week definitely beats a chance of nothing every time! I'm not greedy! I never bought the tickets, but, my boss put me in. I told him if they win, I'll give him the $5.00 :)

Photo copy is a grand idea

thats the syndicates fault
prize is paid to the bearer of the ticket
to be honest if they were threatening me i would say fuck you too
besides don't you think she wouldn't be able to fight fire with fire?
she can buy whatever "protection" she needs

If you are in the US, ABC ran a show about past lottery winners on Friday before the drawing you may be able to watch online.

They suggested photocopying the tickets and putting them in a safe.
