Last Weeks's $189 million dollar winning ticket was sold in Serven, Maryland. The winner claimed the prize on Friday after reportedly hiding the ticket in an unplugged lamp for over a week. He allegedly told officials he had a dream of deceased relatives wispering the winning numbers to him. It is advised that if you do have a winning ticket to sign the back as a unsigned ticket can be claimed by anyone of legal age. It is also to seek a lawyers counsel and to limit telling others before cashing in the prize. The Mega millions official website released a statement to press, after the winner came forward, saying:
"The man initially hid the ticket under a water jug where he and his wife put their spare change but settled on hiding the ticket in a light bulb socket after removing one of two bulbs and unplugging the lamp. Our winner selected the cash option and will take home $86 million after state and federal taxes. He is setting up a charity and sharing the money with his large extended family. Many family members said they will pay off their mortgages but have no other plans for the money yet. 'Everyone’s a winner when the jackpot comes home to Maryland,' said Carole Everett, director of communications for the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency. 'The jackpot winner, the retailer who sold the winning ticket and the people of the state of Maryland all benefit from the win.'
Despite a few people's successes, 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 thework 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."
