Mega Millions Jackpot Winners to Share $1.34 Billion Prize

In the United States, two individuals have come forward to claim their intent to win the $1.34 billion Mega Millions jackpot after the sole winning ticket was sold in the Chicago suburbs nearly eight weeks ago. This was announced on Wednesday by officials from the Illinois Lottery, as reported by Foxla.com.

The winners have chosen to remain anonymous but stated that they are 'on cloud nine' with their tremendous victory. It has been reported that the winners opted for a lump sum payment of $780.5 million. Over the last few weeks, they have been working with professional legal and financial advisors to assist with the paperwork process, which experts recommend lottery winners undertake.
