The latest Mega Millions jackpot was an incredible $77 million and on November 10th there was a split for two Mega Millions jackpot winners, each winning a staggering $38.5 million. One of the world lottery winners has stepped forward to claim their share but we only know her name, Lourdes Salinas. We can tell you however that they are from San Francisco and have chosen to take the cash option for their Mega Millions win.

Taking the cash option for her Mega Millions win means that Lourdes will be banking $18 million after taxes and the lucky store that sold her the Mega Millions ticket will be banking $192,500 just for selling her the ticket! The winning numbers for the draw were 8, 21, 29, 34, 37 and the Mega number was 15.

The winning Mega Millions ticket was sold to Lourdes in South San Francisco at the Pak ‘n’ Save store in Gellert Boulevard according to the California Lottery and along with the Mega Millions winner, they must also be holding their own celebration.

The next draw for the Mega Millions Lottery will take place on Friday 4th December and the jackpot is currently estimated to be $69 million with a cash option of $44.3 million for the lucky winner/s.
