Mrs. Still told Lottery officials she and her son waited nearly a week to claim the jackpot in order to consider their options and consult with a financial advisor. They chose the lump-sum cash payment, as opposed to the annuitized amount. If they choose a lump-sum cash payout, the Stills will walk away with more than $24 million.
This is the largest prize in Tennessee Lottery history and the first Mega Millions jackpot winner for Tennessee. The second-largest winner in Tennessee was a family from South Pittsburg who won a Mega Million jackpot of $25.5 million in March 2005. This marks the 131st winning Lottery ticket sold in Tennessee worth a million dollars or more.
