COLUMBIA, S.C. — The South Carolina lottery says a single winner has stepped forward to claim the $1.5 billion Jackpot from a drawing last October.

A lottery commission statement says the person submitting the claim for what was the second-largest lottery in U.S. history has chosen to remain anonymous.

It adds that the winner has chosen the cash option, a one-time payment of nearly $878,000,000. It says that’s the largest jackpot payout to a single winner in United States history.

The winning ticket was sold between Oct. 20 and Oct. 23 last year at a convenience store in Simpsonville, a suburb of the South Carolina city of Greenville.

For months, South Carolina residents had speculated on why the winner hadn’t stepped forward. The winner had until April 19 to claim the prize.

They must have contacted the best lawyer in the area on about how to move after this win. They waited months, so that the heat died down, and they claimed it anonymously. They'll probably dip out of the US soon too, and no one will ever know. A bit convenient for the lottery board...

I think the lottery winner flew back to the US to pick up his/her money. Winner done left the US. I know I would.
