Mega Millions lottery winner has not claimed prize According to state lottery rules, the store which sold the lucky numbers has also hit the jackpot, and will receive a bonus cheque of $500,000 (£312,000). Denise Metzger, manager of the MotoMart convenience store that sold the ticket, said: "It's just unbelievable. Everyone is wanting to know who it is. All day yesterday I was selling tickets and I was hoping someone from Red Bud would win. Never in my wildest dreams did I think this. I'm just tickled pink. He added that the shop's employees would all share the bonus. Maryland's ticket was bought in a 7/11 store in the town of Milford, Baltimore County. Stephen Martino, Maryland's Lottery Director, said: "It was a quick pick, and there was only one ticket purchased by the player at that time." Lottery officials said the Kansas ticket was sold in northeast part of the state, and the as yet unknown winning retail store would receive a $10,000 (£6,200) prize. The world's largest ever lottery jackpot inspired millions of Americans to buy tickets, spending nearly $1.5 billion (£937 million) in the run-up to the draw on Friday night. Virtually all were disappointed by the live draw at 11pm, when the winning numbers of 02, 04, 23, 38, 46, and the Mega Ball 23 were revealed. Those who hit the jackpot can choose between a heavily-taxed lump sum, or smaller annual payments.
