(Harrisburg, Pa.) Pennsylvania Lottery officials announced that a jackpot-winning Mega Millions® ticket from the May 21, 2021 drawing has been claimed. The jackpot had an annuity value of $516 million.

The jackpot winners who wished to remain anonymous opted to form a trust to claim the jackpot prize as a cash, lump-sum payment. As a result, Peace of Mind Trust, a five-member group, will receive the prize of $348,600,000, less 24 percent federal and 3.07 percent state tax withholding. The after-tax prize amount is $254,233,980.

The winning ticket, sold at 7-Eleven, 2760 Trenton Road, Levittown, Bucks County, matched all five white balls drawn, 6-9-17-18-48, and the yellow Mega Ball 8.

The chances of winning the Mega Millions® jackpot are approximately 1 in 302 million.
