Springfield, IL-(Vandalia Radio)- The winners of the over one billion dollar Mega Millions Jackpot have come forward. It took almost 8 weeks for the claimants to present themselves, which is pretty typical when you’re dealing with this amount of money says Illinois Lottery Director Harold Mays.
The prize was claimed by a partnership and members wish to remain anonymous. They opted to take the lump sum payment of more than 780 million dollars. This was the largest lottery jackpot in state history.
