The jackpot is the biggest payout to a single winner in US history
A SINGLE winner has come forward to claim the $1.5 billion Mega Millions jackpot months after the numbers were revealed.
The lucky individual from South Carolina, who has chosen to remain anonymous, is set to take home the largest jackpot payout to a single winner in US history.And the jackpot is even more incredible given that the winner has since told how they let a fellow customer skip ahead of them in the line to buy a lottery ticket at the KC Mart in Simpsonville.
“We are delighted that the winner is a South Carolinian and has come forward to claim this remarkable prize," said Hogan Brown, the commission’s executive director.The winning ticket was sold last year between October 20 and October 23 at the convenience store in Simpsonville.Some guessed that the winner was on the run from police and feared a background check if he or she won.
Others speculated that the winning ticket had been purchased by an office pool and was now the subject of litigation.Almost 5,000 people queue in rain to see if they are donor match for dying boyStranded honeymoon couple reveal 'nightmare' moment cruise left WITHOUT them'MURDER MUM'FRIGHT MOVEThe statement Monday gave no clue as to why the winner took his or her time to come forward.
