After one single ticketholder scooped the entire $266 million jackpot on the Mega Millions Lottery on May 4th now the Mega Millions Lottery waits for the winner to come forward. No one has yet come forward to claim the prize, although it has just been a couple of days so far but this already has people wondering who it is and where they are. Whoever the lucky winner is, we at World Lottery would like to send a big congratulations and also to the winner of the store where the ticket was sold, as he walks away with a cool £1 million bonus.
The winning Mega Millions Lottery ticket was sold in California from the L&L Hawaiian BBQ in Pico Rivera. The owner of the store and his family will now receive $1 million for being the store who sold the winning ticket but the actually lottery winner themselves are yet to come forward.
The latest Mega Millions winner has 1 year to claim their prize so there really is no rush, lottery officials are just keen to ensure that tickets have been checked so the winner is aware of the jackpot. It’s quite possible the winner knows full well about the win and is just making decisions about the huge amount of cash and thinking of the future.
The $266 million jackpot was the eighth biggest jackpot ever won on the Mega Millions but you can be sure now, with so many US states participating in the draw, jackpots like this will be becoming more and more common.
