Somebody Just Claimed That $83M Lotto Ticket Sold in Cobb
Winners of the Mega Millions drawn in November have finally stepped forward, but we don't know who.

MARIETTA, GA -- It took some time, but the winners of an $83 million lottery jackpot have stepped up and claimed their prize, according to news reports.
In November, the Mega Millions lottery announced that a winning ticket had been bought from Georgia. To be exact, the ticket was purchased from the White Water Chevron at 334 Cobb Parkway in Marietta.
After the announcement, you'd think there would be lights, confetti and the works, right? Well, no one came forward. There were no news cameras. No fanfare. Nothing.

The winning ticket was recently claimed by “members of ADirectConnection LLC,” the Georgia Lottery told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. And they took the prize in cash. That's almost $51 million before Uncle Sam.
Usually when a group or legal entity wins the lottery, its members chose to remain out of the spotlight, for obvious reasons. Still, we'd sure love to know who the new millionaires are.
