PORTLAND, Ore.  -- A Happy Valley couple are very, very happy.

The Oregon Lottery said Thursday that Hanh Ly and Chinh Lieu of Happy Valley won the $15.4 million Megabucks jackpot in the lottery drawing on Monday.

The husband and wife matched all six numbers on their $6 Quick Pick Megabucks ticket to become winners of the 10th largest Megabucks prize ever awarded.

Hanh and Chinh split the prize right down the middle.

Hanh chose the 25 year annuity for her half of the prize and received her first payment of $206,360 after state and federal taxes were withheld. Chinh chose the cash option, which is a one-time payment equal to half the advertised jackpot, or $2.58 million after taxes in his case.

The winning ticket was purchased at Maddy's in Happy Valley.
