In a statement released on Tuesday the Vermont Lottery said the $2.45 million Tri-State Megabucks Plus jackpot from the November 19, drawing has been claimed.
The lottery has not revealed the lucky winners' identity, but stated the prize was claimed by couple from the Greater Rutland area.
It is also known that the winning ticket was purchased from the Middlebury Beef Supply and Grocery store on Route 7.
According to the lottery the couple discovered they had bagged the jackpot when the woman checked the ticket using a self-scanner at a convenience store and the display informed her she needed to contact the Vermont Lottery’s headquarters.
