A $60 million Mega Millions jackpot has been claimed about a month after the winning ticket was sold in Ohio.
According to the Ohio Lottery, the prize was claimed by the Happy Trails Trust, represented by Shaun A. Putman, Esq. The winner chose the cash option of $30 million.
After state and federal taxes totaling 26.75%, the trust will receive $21,975,000.
The winning ticket was purchased on St. Patrick’s Day at Tyler’s Short Stop in Van Wert. The retailer will receive a $60,000 bonus for selling the jackpot ticket.
The winning numbers for the draw were 4, 11, 18, 38, and 50, with a Mega Ball of 24. The auto-pick ticket matched all numbers. Winners have 180 days to claim their prize.
Mega Millions drawings take place every Tuesday and Friday at 11 p.m.
