On Friday night 29 july 2022, a ticket with the second largest lottery prize ever on a single ticket in the United States, $1.28 billion, was sold in a Des Plaines shop instead of a Hawthorne liquor store. The Mega Millions jackpot prize was awarded in Illinois.
In recent weeks, the jackpot has increased because no ticket has six winning numbers. It is extremely difficult to get all six numbers on a ticket filled in, and the jackpot has grown since no one has done so. The jackpot is increased if there is no winner and the current amount is over $302 million.
Winning numbers mega millions
On Friday night, someone in the US state of Illinois won the numbers 13, 36, 45, 57, 67 and the mega number 14. The biggest jackpot in history was awarded on a single ticket sold in South Carolina. The jackpot was worth more than $1.5 billion.
Over a 30-year period, the winner of the Friday night game receives an average of about $42.67 million per year. If the winner chooses to pay cash immediately, the prize is reduced to $747.2 million. The total value of Friday night’s payments is $1.28 billion. The attack is significant before taxes. It is also in both cases.
