Apr 19 - Mega Millions Illinois winners revealed

RED BUD, Ill. – A retired southern Illinois couple claimed the third and final share of last month's record $656 million Mega Millions jackpot on Wednesday, and said they plan to treat themselves -- possibly even to a vacation -- once they've sorted out how to invest their windfall.
Merle and Patricia Butler bought a $3 quick-pick ticket to the March 30 drawing at the Motomart convenience store in their village of Red Bud, a farming community about 40 miles southeast of St. Louis. They have opted to collect their winnings -- $158 million after taxes -- in a lump-sum payment.
Merle Butler, 65, said at the introductory news conference that aside from the cadre of financial advisors and lawyer he and his wife have been meeting with over the past two weeks, he and his wife told fewer than five people that they had become overnight tycoons.
"I was retired. It looks like I have another full-time job," the retired computer systems analyst said.
