The $878 million Mega Millions lottery winner decided to hold off on collecting their prize for 131 days.

A person from North Carolina won a huge $878 million lottery prize but waited 131 days to claim it.

They wanted to stay anonymous and needed time to find lawyers and plan how to handle the money. Eventually, they chose to take the lump sum instead of yearly payments.

They also donated to various charities, showing they understood the responsibility of their fortune. The store that sold the winning ticket received a bonus too.
