Someone has beaten the odds against you and won the $1.28 billion Mega Millions jackpot.
According to megamillions.com, the official page of that lottery, there was a winning ticket in the draw on Friday night, and it was purchased in the state of Illinois, United States.
The winning numbers were: 13-36-45-57-67and the Mega Ball: 14.
The loot was the third largest lottery prize in the country. The jackpot increased so much because no one had matched all six of the game’s selected numbers since April 15, resulting in 29 consecutive draws without a winner.
Nevertheless, $1.28 billion prize goes to those who choose the annuity optionwhich is paid annually for 29 years, but most winners opt for the cash option, which last Friday night’s drawing was estimated at $747.2 million.
