One ticket, bought in the US state of Illinois, brought the lucky winner 1.28 billion dollars - the second largest winning in the Mega Millions lottery, according to the organizers.
If he decides to pay in cash, the owner of the ticket will receive 742.2 million dollars. Another possibility is that the jackpot will be paid in full in installments over 29 years.
The odds of winning the jackpot in Friday's drawing were very slim - 1 in 300 million.
