Indiana Family Comes Forward to Claim $271 Million

    An instantly rich winner has come forward to claim a Mega Millions jackpot, but quietly.

    FOX’s Dave Anthony reports:

    (Littlefield) “We are incredibly humbled and overjoyed by our Mega Millions winnings.”

    But an Indiana family is also overwhelmed, so they’ll remain anonymous. State law allows them to claim the jackpot through a limited liability corporation, which they did.

    Representative Lauren Littlefield read a statement:

    (Littlefield) “Our priority is to maintain a sense of normalcy for our children”

    Those two kids are still in school. So the couple will keep working, despite taking home $271 million after taxes in one check:

    (Taylor) “The largest single winner ticket of the Mega Millions jackpot.”

    Hoosier lottery executive director Sarah Taylor. The family bought a quick pick, then forgot about it and when they checked days later. They rebooted their computer to be sure the matching numbers were right.
