After six weeks, the winner of the $1.35 billion Mega Millions jackpot that was sold in Maine in January has come forward to claim their prize. Well, sort of…
The winner, who chose to stay anonymous, purchased the winning ticket on Friday, Jan. 13, 2023, overcoming odds of 1 in 302.6 million. On Wednesday, the winner claimed their prize, choosing to receive the winnings in a lump sum payment of $723,564,144 before taxes, instead of incremental payments over 30 years.
