Sold a $60M Mega Millions ticket on 2026-03-17.
Tyler's Short Stop has sold a winning Mega Millions ticket, but that history says nothing about the ticket in your pocket — every draw is independent, and this store's odds on the next ticket are identical to those of any other licensed retailer in OH. If you do have a winner, here's what actually determines your payout.
OH withholds 4.8% in state tax from lottery prizes. Federal withholding adds another 24% on any single prize over $5,000. On privacy, anonymous via trust only in Ohio: No blanket anonymity law, but prizes can be claimed anonymously through a blind trust.
Sign the back of the ticket right away — that alone establishes you as the owner if it's ever lost or disputed. Small prizes can typically be cashed at Tyler's Short Stop itself or any other licensed retailer in OH; larger prizes and any jackpot-tier win require an in-person visit to an official Ohio Lottery claim center with the signed ticket and a valid photo ID. Take a photo and a photocopy of the signed ticket before you go, and hold off on any big decisions — lump sum vs. annuity, who to tell, whether to bring in a financial advisor — until you've had a few days to think it through.
