The Arizona winner of the Powerball has come forward, the Arizona Lottery said in a press release Friday.

The unnamed person elected to take the cash option and will receive $192 million before taxes.

While the Arizona Lottery said the winner declined to be named and participate in a press conference, the winner is a married man in his 30s from Fountain Hills, Ariz.

The winner split the largest jackpot prize, $587.5 million, in Powerball history with Mark and Cindy Hill of Missouri, who also had a winning ticket.
