Kansas Mega Millions winner

The holder of one of the three winning tickets in the world record $656 million Mega Millions lottery jackpot has come forward to claim their prize.

The winner, who has asked to remain anonymous, visited the Kansas lottery office on Friday to claim their prize, according to the BBC.

Officials said the winning ticket had been bought in the northeastern part of the state.

No one has yet come forward to claim the winning ticket in Maryland or Illinois, where the other two tickets were sold.

A McDonalds employee who claimed earlier this week she had bought the Maryland winning ticket now says she can’t find it.

Kansas lottery officials said the state’s winner did not realise they had the winning ticket until Monday, when they checked the numbers online.

“They checked it over 10 times and still had a hard time believing it,” Kansas Lottery Director Dennis Wilson said.

Mr Wilson added the winner bought the ticket at a general store in Ottawa, Kansas.

The person chose to take the winnings in a lump sum of almost $158 million.
