The winning ticket for last Wednesday night's $400 million dollar Powerball jackpot was purchased in Lexington, S.C, at a Murphy USA gas station.
Executive director of South Carolina Educational Lottery, Paula Harper Bethea released a statement Thursday following the announcement:
"There is somebody out there who is $399.4 million richer than they were yesterday! If the (winner) is watching, we encourage them to: 1. sign the back of the check, 2. put it in a safe location, and then 3. seek counsel. This is life changing, there are a lot of zeroes in the amount of money this person or these persons are going to get."
The big winner has since stepped forward anonymously.
As always the Mega Millions website urges participants to play responsibly:
"Although most people can play Mega Millions and other lottery games without ill effects, there are some people for whom gambling of any sort can be addictive and very damaging. Like other addictions, gambling addiction is a treatable disease. 12-step programs have proven to be particularly helpful.
All of the Mega Millions member lotteries support and encourage the work of groups like Gamblers Anonymous and the National Council on Problem Gambling to combat gambling addiction and encourage responsible play.
If you think you or a loved one may have a gambling addiction, or if you want to learn more, you can call the National Council on Problem Gambling's confidential 24-hour hotline: 800-522-4700.
