LOS ANGELES (AP) - A Southern California man has claimed one half of the $336 million Mega Millions lottery jackpot.
The California Lottery said Wednesday that Kevyn Ogawa had the winning numbers for the August 28th drawing. He took the cash option, meaning he'll take home about $107 million. Lottery officials say he went to the Van Nuys lottery office Tuesday to claim his prize.
He bought his ticket from an Asian noodle shop in San Gabriel. The business will receive a bonus of $832,500 for selling the winning ticket.
The other winning ticket was sold in New York. Mega Millions is a multi-state game played in 12 states.
