A Single winning ticket was sold in Illinois, USA for Friday’s $1.28 billion Mega Millions jackpot.
The $2 ticket for the jackpot, the lottery’s second-largest prize since it began in 1996, matched all five winning numbers plus the Mega Ball — 67, 45, 57, 36, 13 and 14.
The identity of the winner or winners, and where in Illinois the ticket was purchased, were not immediately known.
Mega Millions also reported there were multiple winners of smaller prizes in more than a dozen other states.
The jackpot swelled because no one had won the jackpot in any of the drawings, held every Tuesday and Friday, since a winning ticket on April 15 in Tennessee. Up until now, no one had matched the five numbers and Mega Ball.
