Maine

Maine lobster has exploded in value in recent years in part due to growing international demand from countries such as China

The Maine State Lottery said the winner chose to remain anonymous and collect the cash option through a limited liability company

Currently Maine and Vermont, as well as the District of Columbia, are the only states where felons never lose their right to vote

The jackpot was the second largest in the lottery’s history and the fourth time the game has had a billion-dollar win
