The owner of a Maine gas station that sold the winning $1.35 billion Mega Millions ticket last month was presented with a $50,000 check.

Fred Coutreau, who owns Hometown Gas & Grill in Lebanon, was presented with the check on Wednesday. The winning numbers drawn on January 13 matched those on a ticket sold at the gas station.

Coutreau received the $50,000 as a selling bonus from the Maine State Lottery.

So far, the winner still has not come forward to claim the jackpot. The winner has 12 months to come forward at the Maine State Lottery office in Augusta.
