The ticket from the May 21 drawing was purchased from the Levittown 7-Eleven on the 2700 block of Trenton Road.
Peace of Mind Trust, a five-member group, has claimed the jackpot -- the third and largest Mega Millions prize ever in Pennsylvania.
The after-tax prize amount is $254,233,980.
“This is life-changing generational money. The winners live in small communities in eastern Pennsylvania and desire to keep their lives as normal as possible. Maintaining anonymity is key to ensuring that normalcy. The winning ticket was a Quick Pick,” attorneys Kurt Panouses and Christopher Mahoney said in a joint statement provided to the Pennsylvania Lottery.
Panouses leads the Florida-based Panouses Law Firm and Mahoney is an attorney with Stuckert & Yates, a Pennsylvania firm.
“The Pennsylvania Lottery congratulates the big winners of this historic jackpot,” said Pennsylvania Lottery Executive Director Drew Svitko.
“We tell our players all the time that it only takes one ticket to have a chance to win a life-changing jackpot, and this Mega Millions win is a reminder of that fact. This is the largest jackpot ever won in Pennsylvania, and that’s also great news for the older Pennsylvanians who benefit from the programs the Pennsylvania Lottery funds.”
The winning numbers were 6, 9, 17, 18, and 48. The Mega Ball number was 8.
The retailer received a $100,000 bonus check.
