BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Idaho Lottery officials say the state’s $190 million Mega Millions winner is an Idaho woman.
Holly Lahti will share the second-largest lottery jackpot in history with Jim and Carolyn McCullar of Ephrata, Wash. The McCullars appeared at a news conference last Thursday to announce they’d won half of the $380 million jackpot.
Idaho Lottery officials had announced that the other winning ticket was sold in Post Falls, but didn’t say until Wednesday who the winner was. Lahti wasn’t on hand for the announcement, in Boise.
Officials didn’t release her age or hometown, saying Lahti has asked them to respect her privacy.
Mega Millions is played in 41 states and Washington, D.C.
