The last person to claim a Mega Millions prize was a man from Shawnee, Kansas. Hira Singh claimed his $50 million prize in Jefferson City, Missouri, on Thursday after winning the jackpot during the March 12 drawing, according to a press release from the Missouri Lottery. He purchased the winning ticket at a QuikTrip in Kansas City, Missouri, when he stopped for gas to fill up his truck. The convenience store will also receive a $50,000 bonus check for selling the winning tickets.
"It's so much fun to see our players win," said May Scheve Reardon, executive director of the Missouri Lottery, in a statement. "Mr. Singh is our 515th Missouri-Lottery made millionaire, and because this Mega Millions win happened in Missouri, the state will collect approximately $1.2 million in state income tax on his lump-sum prize."
