Has Mirlande Wilson (who allegedly won lots of millions of dollars in the lottery) set a brand new human standard of stupidity?

She works at McDonalds. She claims she hit the recent MegaMillion lottery which is worth too many millions to count (which she hints is hidden somewhere in a McDonald’s “restaurant”).
She has not produced the ticket. She organized a press conference and did essentially nothing but talk on her cell, while her lawyer told the press to go home after they had been invited to attend the press conference.
If she has the ticket she is an idiot since in her state you can claim anonymously and only an idiot would expose themselves to every begger on earth who would like a cut of the bounty.
On the other hand if she does not have the ticket she is an idiot because now everybody knows she is an idiot, including the folks at McDonalds.
There may be a tie for stupid.
But is there anybody more stupid?
There probably is.
But who are they?
Please provide some evidence if they exist.
