The winner had until 14th April to claim the prize before the jackpot would be forfeited. The winner has decided to stay anonymous and no further personal details about them have been released to the public.

The winner has chosen the services of the "Lottery Lawyer" Jason M. Kurland, a New York lawyer famous for representing other high profile lottery winners. He will be speaking on behalf of the winner to all news outlets.

Because the winner is from South Carolina they are allowed to stay anonymous, but most other states require that the winner come forward and attend a news conference.

The winning ticket cost only $2 and sold from a small convenience store near to the winners house. The owner of the store will receive a $50,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
