Although no one has come forward to claim the third largest Mega Millions jackpot in history, we are patiently awaiting that special someone.

A small IN town where a Mega Millions ticket worth an estimated $540 million was sold is buzzing with speculation about who might be the big victor.

Rosebrough said the victor had not stepped forward as of Saturday afternoon and it could be days before the ticket holder claims the jackpot.

The Executive Director of the Virginia Lottery, Paula Otto – also Lead Director for the Mega Millions group – called the four months during which the Mega Millions jackpot kept rolling over “a great four-month run”.

It’s the seventh biggest prize in USA lottery history, surpassing an August 2013 Powerball prize of $448.4 million.

“In addition to the jackpot win Tuesday night, there were 10 Match 5 winning tickets sold around the country”.

A Mega Millions ticket for NY. With slightly better odds than the Powerball game, it’s rare that nearly four months passes without someone winning a Mega Millions jackpot.
