PHOENIX (AP) -- The Arizona Lottery says the other winning ticket in last week's $588 million Powerball jackpot has been claimed.
 
The Arizona winner has declined to take part in a Friday afternoon news conference in Phoenix, and the winner asked to remain anonymous. 

Lottery officials described the winner as a married man in his thirties who lives in Fountain Hills.  The ticket was sold at a store in Fountain Hills, northeast of Phoenix. 
 
The winner has opted to take the cash option of $192 million.
 
A Missouri mechanic and his wife came forward on Nov. 30 to claim their half of the multistate Powerball prize.
