TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — A central Florida man and woman who
have come forward to claim their half of a Mega Millions jackpot of
$414 million say the money will allow them to do all sorts of things
including investing, traveling and going to as many Notre Dame football
games as they can.
Raymond Moyer and Robyn Collier, both 35, have
claimed their $207 million prize, the Florida Lottery announced Tuesday.
A one-time, lump-sum payment of nearly $115.5 million was made to the
Cobie and Seamus Trust, dated April 21, 2014. Moyer and Collier are
members of the trust. The jackpot was the third largest in the game’s
history.
The winning Quick Pick ticket for the March 18 drawing
was purchased at a Publix grocery store on Merritt Island, Lottery
officials said. The retailer received a $100,000 bonus commission.
Collier
said in a lottery news release that she and Moyer didn’t know they had
won until the morning after the drawing when the numbers were on the
news.
"I paused the TV and ran to get the ticket to double-check
the numbers," Collier said. "And when I realized they all matched, I
jumped off the couch in excitement and told Raymond we had won."
Moyer said he didn’t believe Collier until he saw the store where they purchased the ticket on the news.

"It
was definitely a shock, but it is an incredible blessing that will
allow us to do many things we would not have had the opportunity to do
before," Moyer said.
A second winning ticket was purchased in Maryland. That prize has not been claimed.
