The official Mega Millions lottery is now reporting on May’s big winner, writing:
“Middletown, Penn. – Carl Szott, of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, today claimed an $86.7 million Mega Millions jackpot from the May 20, 2014, drawing.
“It is the first jackpot-winning Mega Millions ticket sold by the Pennsylvania Lottery and the fifth-largest prize awarded in the Lottery’s history.
“Lottery Executive Director Sil Lutkewitte today presented a ceremonial check for $86,755,350 to Mr. Szott, holder of the single jackpot-winning ticket from that drawing. Szott was accompanied by his wife and several family members.
“The ticket correctly matched all five white balls, 10-40-63-64-69, plus the Megaball, 07, to win a prize of a $149 million annuity, or $86.7 million cash, less 25 percent federal withholding. This jackpot had started growing in early April and rolled 12 times.
“‘Winning the jackpot has been a surreal experience,’ Szott said. ‘We hope that very little in our lives will change; we are really excited to be able to spend more time with our children and grandchildren.’
“Szott noted that he waited 100 days to claim the prize in order to ‘make sure we were doing everything right.’
“Szott purchased the ticket at White Oak Gas & Grocery, 1100 Fawcett Ave., White Oak, Allegheny County. It was a Quick Pick ticket. The store, a Lottery retailer since April 2012, earns a $100,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
“This morning, Szott presented the Mega Millions ticket for validation at Lottery headquarters in Middletown, Dauphin County. Lottery officials confirmed it was the jackpot-winning ticket after examining the ticket and executing proprietary security measures.
