BALTIMORE -- A Baltimore woman has claimed the $24 million Mega Millions jackpot from last week's drawing.
The 49-year-old woman wants to stay anonymous, lottery officials say. She and her daughter brought a locked safe with the
winning ticket to the Maryland lottery office on Monday.
The woman had purchased five $1 quick pick tickets on September 9. She let the lottery computer pick her numbers. She then
purchased a second group of $1 tickets, which contained the winning combination.
Lottery officials say the winner chose the $15 million cash payout option, which is worth a little more than $10 million
after taxes.
