A lucky person from the north of Florida won the $1.58 billion jackpot in lottery prize pools Mega Millionsafter almost four months without luck smiling on the players.
Despite the considerable number, this is not the largest prize that the lottery has distributed in US history, but the third.
According to the Florida Lottery, one of the 45 states, plus Washington DC and the US Virgin Islands, where this game of chance exists, the winning ticket was sold in a Neptune Beach supermarket and contained the five winning numbers (13, 19 , 20, 32 and 33) plus the number 14 of the yellow extra ball.
The last time someone had won the Mega Millions was April 18, which is why such a lot of money had accumulated.
The odds of winning this prize is one in 302.6 million.
According to local media, to collect the total prize, an annual payment must be agreed for 30 years. If the winner of the draw on Tuesday night wants to collect at once, they will take US $ 783.3 million.
