POST FALLS, Idaho (AP) — Residents in Idaho have a a message for the state’s unknown $190 million lottery winner: Have mercy.
One of the two winning Mega Millions tickets drawn on Tuesday night was purchased in Post Falls, a bedroom community of 26,000 people 20 miles east of Spokane, Wash. So far, the holder of the ticket has not come forward.
Idaho Lottery officials don’t know who the person is, and refuse to identify which business sold the winning ticket.
The two winning tickets split $380 million, second-largest lottery jackpot in history.
Jim and Carolyn McCullar of Ephrata, Wash., just 125 miles west of Post Falls, appeared at a press conference Thursday to announce they had won half of the jackpot.
The town of Post Falls is abuzz about the identity of the second winner.
