Spokeswoman Susan Goedde said Boldon declined to give further details on herself, including why she was in St. Louis to buy the ticket.

Boldon can choose to either take a lump sum of roughly $126.5 million before taxes or instead opt for 30 smaller, annual payments.

Missouri has sold 30 Powerball-winning tickets, second only to Indiana among the 44 states that participate in the national lottery game.
