GLADSTONE -- Nobody has yet come forward to claim the $140 million they won in the Mega Millions Jackpot.

The winning single ticket was sold at the Grain n' Grape convenience store in Gladstone.

The winning numbers in the Friday drawing were 4, 19, 26, 28 and 39.

The Mega Ball was 14.

--------------------------------------

It's America's biggest jackpot game, and Friday night's single winning ticket of $140 million was sold right here in the U.P.

The Mega Millions Lottery is offered in 35 states and holds the record for the largest jackpot in North American history.

According to lottery officials, the ticket was sold at the Grain 'N' Grape Store on US-2 in Gladstone.

Clerk Sheila Wedell received a call from the Associated Press Saturday morning, and after confirming with lottery commission officials, it was determined that the winning ticket was in fact sold at the Grain 'N' Grape.  She says she was shocked because she wasn't notified right away by the lottery terminal.

Lottery business is fairly steady, especially with several self-proclaimed 'lottery clubs' in the area, but she says all of the hype is exciting for the store.

"Everybody's coming in saying, 'Oh man we hope it's a local person; we hope since it wasn't me that it's somebody who knows me and loves me!'  I mean it's kind of fun, you know, everybody's really hoping the best for a local, and truthfully we really hope it's one of our loyal customers that, kind of a reward for always shopping with us, that'd be really groovy."

As far as we know, the winner still has not come forward.  The winning numbers in Friday evening's drawing of the multistate Mega Millions game were 4, 19, 26, 28 and 39.  The Mega Ball was 14.

The winner has one year to claim the prize before it expires.

Mega Millions Lottery numbers are drawn twice a week.
