A Columbus man has submitted the winning ticket in Friday's $40 million Mega Millions drawing.

Sean L. Harper claimed the money yesterday. Harper chose the cash option. After federal and state taxes, he will receive approximately $16.6 million.

The winning ticket was purchased at Wyandotte Shell, 5250 East Main Street in Whitehall. The store receives a $40,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

This is the tenth winning Mega Millions ticket sold in Ohio since the Mega Millions game began four and half years ago.
