Mega Millions winner is New Jersey food production manager

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — The winner of last month's $533 million Mega Millions jackpot is a New Jersey resident who moved to the state last summer.

Richard Wahl was introduced Friday during a news conference at lottery headquarters. The 47-year-old production manager at a northern New Jersey food services facility took the cash option worth $220.7 million, after taxes.

Wahl bought the sole winning ticket for the March 30 jackpot at a Lukoil station. He says he's not a regular lottery player and has only purchased tickets a few times.

 

Wahl says he plans to retire. One of his dreams is to rebuild a 1963 Corvette.

It was the largest single jackpot winning ticket ever sold in New Jersey.
