In Florida, 20-year-old Shane Misler from Port Ritchie was the man who won the $ 451 million in the lottery Mega Millions. As he writes SF Gate, the man decided to take $ 281 874 999 with a one-time payment, and not wait for a larger amount as annual payments. After paying income tax of 25%, his winnings were $ 211 406 249,25.

"I'm only 20, but I hope to use it to meet various needs, help my family and do something useful for humanity," he said in a statement.

The winning numbers claiming the 10-th largest jackpot were 28-30-39-59-70 with Mega ball 10.

The winning ticket Misler purchased in 7-Eleven in port richie. The retailer will receive a $ 100 000 bonus.

The first to find out about the win was Misler's brother, and then the guy told his father. The guy came to take his winnings with his father and a lawyer.

“If there is one thing I have learned in my short time on this earth, it is that those who think positively and stay true to themselves are rewarded. I’m excited for the future,” Misler said.

Representatives of the lottery said that the money will be paid to the established trust fund, in which Misler is listed as the executive participant. The foundation is called “Secret 007, LLC».

“Even though I'm young, I took a cool course in financial management this week and I'm lucky to have incredible wealth and a team. I am committed to taking care of my family, having fun, and strengthening my path to financial success so that I can leave a financial legacy in the future,” Misler said. He also noted that he was planning to leave Port Richey.

After winning, Mysler quit his job at a local stock screening company.

Lottery Mega Millions operates in 44 states, Washington and the British Virgin Islands. Last fall, ticket prices increased. Thus, lottery representatives hoped to draw attention to the game and increase jackpot.

The biggest jackpot in history Mega Millions was $ 656 million in March 2012. Three winning tickets were sold in Kansas, Illinois and Maryland.
