Following Friday night’s winning announcements, a lottery player won a large sum, making America a new billionaire.
The lottery winner, an Illinois resident, has become a billionaire worth $1.28 billion.
On a lighter note, Elon Musk was urged to step aside since he now had a new competition under his nose.
Following its announcement, Friday night’s unbelievable payout became the second-largest Mega Millions jackpot ever.
The winning numbers were 13, 36, 45, 57, 67 and a Mega Ball of 14.
However, the Illinois lottery has yet to reveal the lucky winner’s identity or the location where the ticket was purchased.
The next drawing is scheduled for Tuesday at 11 p.m. ET, according to sources.
Over the last few weeks, the jackpot had been rising steadily because no one could beat the odds to win, which are 1 in 302,575,350.
In 2018, a single ticket buyer in South Carolina won the largest Mega Millions jackpot of $1.537 billion.
Meanwhile, the highest jackpot ever won in the United States was a $1.586 billion Powerball prize in 2016.
