IF she has a winning ticket, and IF the McDonald's employees were just a little bit smart about it, then they will have the ability to file a claim with the lottery commision by bringing the copy of tickets that were involved in the pool that day. Every lottery commision highly suggests that when playing in a pool, that every lottery ticket bought with group money be photo copied and distributed to each player before the drawing and that each player sign each and every packet of copies. I can completely see playing a ticket individually but you better bet I would cover my backside on that by making those copies for the group.
Now with that said, and after reading about it, I am pretty sure that didn't happen, and I am more than sure no matter what happens with that ticket and the winnings, there won't be a penny left in 5 years, if it lasts that long.
