    Lottery spokeswoman Carole Everett says the winner claimed the prize at lottery headquarters Monday. She says she wouldn’t give any more details until a news conference Tuesday.

    Maryland’s winner bought the ticket at a 7-Eleven store in Milford Mill outside Baltimore. That person will split the prize with a winner each in Illinois and in Kansas.

    Lottery officials increased the final jackpot to $656 million after tallying sales from the 44 state lotteries.

    Maryland has been the home of Mega Millions winners in the past. In 2007, Ellwood “Bunky” Bartlett won roughly $27 million after taxes.

    I told you, after I am done cleaning for Pesach, I will get around to claiming money. But I didn’t get a chance to do it on erev Yom Tov, so did it earlier today.
