About one month after a $227 million Mega Millions ticket was sold in Cedar Park, a Leander resident has come forward to claim their money, Texas Lottery said Oct. 28.
The ticket was purchased at the Lakeline Express Mart located at 2004 N. Lakeline Blvd. on Sept. 24 and was a Quick Pick, Texas Lottery said.
The winner opted for the cash value, which means the winner will receive $157,091,592. This marks the largest prize ever paid out to a single Texas Lottery player, Texas Lottery said.
The winner chose to remain anonymous.
The Lakeline Express Mart won a $1 million retailer bonus for selling the ticket.
