Few things in the world of gambling can compare to the thrill of large-scale lottery wins, and this instance is particularly notable as it represents the first time a Mega Millions jackpot-winning ticket was purchased online. The Illinois winner must now decide between receiving the $560 million in annual installments or opting for a lump sum cash payout of $264 million. As the excitement lingers and we anticipate the winner stepping forward, it’s also interesting to note that 27 other participants managed to secure $10,000 by matching four white numbers plus the Mega ball, with added bonuses for those playing with the Megaplier.
