Matthew Good, who had previously been described only as a married, Phoenix-area man in his 30s, was named by officials in response to public records requests. Last week he declined to participate in a news conference announcing his winning ticket, telling officials that he preferred to remain anonymous.

 

Good, who purchased the winning ticket from a food store near his home, has opted to take a $192 million cash payout before taxes rather than an annuity to be paid out over 30 years, lottery spokeswoman Karen Bach said.
