Today a retired couple in their 60's claimed the final third ticket in the biggest lottery draw in history. The winners share the recent $656 Mega Millions lottery prize, and are from Red Bud, Illinois.

Despite being residents in the small 3,700 population town all their lives, they managed to keep the win a secret.

They took home $110 million after taxes from their $218.6 million win.
