The winning ticket is yet to claimed by the winner who bought it in New Jersey.
The winning $1.1 billion Mega Millions jackpot ticket was bought in a store near Donald Trump’s exclusive golfing resort in New Jersey.
Tuesday’s jackpot is waiting to be claimed by one lucky ticket holder who purchased it in a ShopRite liquor store in Neptune Township, New Jersey. That’s around an hour’s drive from Trump National Golf Club Bedminster.
Before Tuesday evening’s draw, internet users were wondering if Trump would buy a ticket to help him pay off his outstanding legal debts.
In February, Judge Arthur Engoron ruled that Trump had to pay roughly $454 million, with interest included, in penalties for fraud having ruled that the former president and executives at the Trump Organization inflated the value of his assets to obtain more favorable terms from lenders and insurers.
The former president had been seeking a bond of $464 million to cover his fines and the disgorgement for his sons Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., who were co-defendants in the case. On Monday, a New York court ruled that Trump could post $175 million, and gave him a 10-day deadline to do so.
