The winners of the massive $99 million prize at the Mega Millions game wasted no time in claiming their prize. The huge jackpot was claimed a group of 22 colleagues from Ohio. Ohio State Lottery officials stated that the 22 people work at a KraftMaid in Jefferson, Ashtabula County. The town is right between Youngstown and Cleveland. Most of the lucky winners work in the logistics and customer service department of the cabinet making company. Also, it appears that the group has been playing for many years. US lottery
The lucky winners chose the lump sum option so, after all the taxes are subtracted, each of them will receive about $2 million. Lottery officials said that the 22 players will get their prize in about four weeks. Also, the winning ticket was bought at a Speedway in Jefferson and the store will receive a $99,000 bonus for selling the ticket. The spokesman of the group said that most of the winners have bills in their minds and they are still in shock after receiving the amazing news.

We can’t say if the winners’ decision to become known as an entirely good idea. We all know that people tend to get weird around important amounts of money, and most of the winners will undoubtedly get harassed over their winnings. Ohio joined the Mega Millions game back in May 2002 and this was the 16th jackpot won there. Lottery officials said that the odds of getting all the numbers right were 1 in over 175 million.
