Very recently, the Mega Millions jackpot finally got accepted after 29 draws! A man from a Chicago Suburb just won 1.34 billion dollars. ” We are thrilled to have witnessed one of the biggest jackpot wins in Mega Millions history,” Ohio Lottery Director Pat McDonald who is the lead director for Mega Millions” We’re eager to find out who won and look forward to congratulating the winner soon!”

This was the US’s third-largest lottery prize. It became as big as it is because no one had gotten the Mega Millions jackpot since April 15.

This is also benefiting the seller, as they get half a million for selling the winning card. But the winning card is not sealed yet. National Mega Millions spokeswoman, Danielle Frizzi-Babb, explains that “We won’t know whether it’s an individual or it’s a lottery pool until the winner comes forward to claim their prize.”
