This past weekend’s massive $180 million lottery drawing was won. That means the new totals for this week’s game have dropped drastically. Check the report below for the latest update on the winner:
The official Mega Millions lottery website reports on the big win, writing:
”The estimated $180 million Mega Millions jackpot ($107.1 million cash option) was won in California on August 22, 2014. A single ticket matched all six numbers in the drawing – the white balls 5, 31, 34, 41 and 74 plus the Mega Ball of 3.
“The winning ticket was sold at a 7-Eleven store in Calimesa, Calif. It marks California’s second jackpot winner this year, following a $30 million prize won in Los Angeles on April 4.
“In addition to the jackpot winning ticket, the August 22 drawing produced a $1 million Match 5 winner in Pennsylvania. It was that state’s fourth Match 5 winner since Mega Millions was relaunched last October, including a $5 million prize on January 3 thanks to the Megaplier option.”
The winner has not come forward yet, but has some to do so. The Mega Millions website also tells people the time they have to collect:
“It depends on the state where you bought your tickets. The time period for claiming a prize ranges from 180 days to 1 year from the draw date.”
