In a thrilling turn of events, the winners of the $349 million Mega Millions jackpot from the March 25 drawing have officially come forward to claim their prize. The winning ticket, purchased in a small town convenience store, had sparked intense speculation for weeks as the jackpot remained unclaimed. Now, a group of longtime friends—who formed a lottery pool years ago—have stepped into the spotlight as the lucky winners.
Choosing to remain partially anonymous, the group issued a joint statement through their attorney, expressing immense gratitude and surprise. “We never expected to win, but we always hoped. This changes our lives forever,” the statement read. They opted for the lump sum payment, which amounts to approximately $164 million after taxes.
The winners say they plan to use their newfound wealth to pay off debts, support charitable causes, and enjoy well-earned vacations with their families. The retailer who sold the winning ticket will also receive a $50,000 bonus. Lottery officials congratulated the group and reminded players to always play responsibly. As the news spreads, the story has renewed lottery fever across the country, with hopes running high for the next big draw.
