Official: Winning lottery ticket sold in Maryland

Maryland lottery officials announced early Saturday that their state sold what could become the world's largest lottery payout of all-time, but it wasn't immediately clear if that ticket holder would get sole possession of the $640 million jackpot or have to split it with other winners.

Carole Everett, director of communications for the Maryland Lottery, said the winning Mega Millions ticket was purchased at a retailer in Baltimore County. She said it's too early to know any other information about the lucky ticket holder or whether others were sold elsewhere in the nation.

The winning numbers were 02-04-23-38-46, and the Mega Ball 23.

I forgot to say it was sold at a 7-11 in Milford Mill

Is the state of Maryland going to apply all the taxes from the Jackpot to education? That is a lot of revenue in one shot.
