Overview
- Missouri Lottery confirmed the claim as the largest prize in state history, surpassing the previous $293.7 million record from 2012.
- The winning ticket was purchased at a QuikTrip on Lusher Road in north St. Louis County, and the other jackpot ticket was sold in Fredericksburg, Texas.
- The claimant chose a lump-sum payout of about $410.3 million before taxes rather than the $893.5 million annuity option.
- Missouri law permits anonymity, and the winner, who has not been identified, described low-key plans and a few sleepless nights after the drawing.
- The QuikTrip that sold the winning ticket received a $50,000 retailer bonus.
