Winning $33 million mega millions lottery ticket is sold out recently

The multi-million dollar prize from a winning Mass. Lottery ticket sold in Belchertown has been claimed.

Mass. Lottery spokesperson Christian Teja said that the Skylark Group Trust of Wellesley claimed the $33 million Mega Millions jackpot prize, which was for the drawing on January 24, on Wedneday.

He added that the advertised jackpot was an estimated $31 million, but it grew to $33 million after “actual sales from all participating lotteries were calculated.”

The trust chose the cash option of a one-time payment of $17,441,861 before taxes. The winning ticket was sold at Stop and Shop on George Hannum Street in Belchertown.

Stop and Shop will receive a $50,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

The winner has only 180 days from the day of the lottery draw to claim the winning prize money.
