The owner of the largest Mega Millions jackpot in history of $1.6 billion tried to protect his identity, so he evaded the law.
An American has won the biggest jackpot in the history of the popular Mega Millions lottery. The Daily Mail reported this.
The $1.6 billion winner is said to have evaded Florida lottery winner identification laws, but is believed to still be a practicing doctor.
Specifically, the man was granted a period of anonymity under state law that allows winners to withhold their identities for 90 days so they can get their affairs in order.
However, he decided to remain anonymous and evade the law by establishing a limited liability company (LLC) in Delaware.
The jackpot winner arrived at the lottery headquarters with his prize on September 25 after winning the big jackpot more than a month ago.
He decided to take the money in a lump sum of $794,248,882 instead of opting for annual payments.
Earlier it was reported that during the New Year holidays, two Ukrainians won the main prize of 190 thousand hryvnias in the Lotto-Zabava lottery.
