Winning $25 Million Lotto Ticket Sold in Westwood
The winning ticket was sold at the Mobil station on Santa Monica Boulevard.
Someone got very, very lucky in Westwood yesterday.
A lottery ticket with all six matching numbers in Wednesday's multi-state Mega Millions draw — worth a cool $25 million, or about $18.6 million after taxes — was purchased at the Mobil station on Santa Monica Boulevard and Westwood Boulevard.
The lucky ticket holder can choose between a one-time payment of $18.6 million or 26 annual payments of about $960,000. Not bad.
