COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The mystery surrounding the $1.5 billion Mega Millions jackpot from last October is partly over.
Lottery officials announced Monday that a South Carolina resident has stepped forward to claim the prize but elected to remain anonymous.
A person has submitted a claim for what was the second-largest lottery in U.S. history and has chosen the cash option, a one-time payment of nearly $878,000,000.
