Someone beat the odds and won the $1.28 billion Mega Millions jackpot.
According to megamillions.com, there was a winning ticket in Friday night’s draw, and it was purchased in Illinois.
Winning numbers are: 13-36-45-57-67, Mega Ball: 14.
The jackpot is the nation’s third-largest lottery. It’s grown too big because no one has matched the game’s six chosen numbers since April 15. That’s 29 consecutive draws without a jackpot winner.
A $1.28 billion prize is available to winners who choose the annuity option, paid annually for 29 years. Most of the winners opted for the cash option, with Friday night’s draw estimated at $747.2 million.
The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 302.5 million.
Mega Millions is played in 45 states as well as Washington, DC and the US Virgin Islands. The game is coordinated by the state lottery.
