Mega Millions lottery winners finally claim £1.1billion jackpot - the third biggest EVER

The third biggest lottery prize of all time worth $1.34 billion - equivalent to £1.1billion - has been claimed two months after the draw.

In the US winners are able to choose to take the full sum, but broken down into yearly payments for the next 29 years, or take one lump payment which is much less, due to federal and state taxes.

The Mega Millions winners had just 60 days to choose between the cash and annuity options and up to a year to claim the prize.
