Three winners who could share
a $656 million windfall from the largest lottery jackpot in U.S.
history bought their lucky tickets at a 7-Eleven store in
Maryland, a Motomart convenience story in Illinois and somewhere
in northeast Kansas, lottery officials said on Saturday.
Lottery officials said the 7-Eleven store was in Milford
Mill, Maryland, near Baltimore, and the Motomart convenience
store in the southern Illinois farming town of Red Bud,
Illinois. Kansas lottery officials were not releasing the exact
location where the ticket was sold except to say that it was in
the most populated northeast part of the state.
"Each of the winners gets $105.1 million in cash after taxes
roughly, but who cares about pennies at this point?" said Carole
Everett, spokeswoman for the Maryland Lottery.
The winners whose tickets had all six numbers of the Mega
Millions lottery drawn on Friday night will split the jackpot,
the biggest in U.S. history, which rose to $656 million after
a $656 million windfall from the largest lottery jackpot in U.S.
