HOUGHTON -- In two days we'll finally know the winner of the $19 million Mega Millions jackpot.

That winning ticket was bought in Houghton on February 5 at Festival Foods. A lot of folks in the Keweenaw already know who the winner is.

In fact, it's been reported she has had to disconnect her phone due to harassing phone calls.

The mysterious winner will come forward this Wednesday afternoon in Lansing. That's when a press conference is being held at the Michigan Lottery office.

The payout is $19 million over 26 years, or a lump sum of $14 million, before taxes.
