CLIFFSIDE PARK, N.J. - The holder of a winning $165 million Mega Millions lottery ticket has validated it and picked up a claim form. <br> <br> But the person has not yet presented the winning ticket, which was bought in New Jersey Tuesday, to New Jersey lottery officials. <br> <br> The holder chose the cash option, which is worth $92 million before a 27 percent federal withholding tax. <br> <br> The state officials say the buyer let the computer pick the winning numbers: ten, 24, 35, 49, 52 and the Gold Mega Ball 47. <br> <br> The prize is the largest single-ticket win in the New Jersey Lottery&#39;s 32-year history. <br> <br> Mega Millions also is sold in Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Ohio and Virginia.
