Winner of $1.6billion MegaMillions lottery jackpot revealed

After Florida lottery winners were allowed to remain anonymous for ninety days, the $1.6 billion Mega Millions jackpot winner was made public.

The method by which the winner accepted the prize was not disclosed by the Lottery; however, their choice to accept the cash option was disclosed along with their name.

The winner would have received $500.38 million after all taxes were deducted. The winner only needs to worry about federal taxes because Florida does not impose state taxes on lottery winnings.
