The second- largest lottery prize in history was won by a single ticket in Illinois.
There was only one winning ticket for the Mega Millions. The illustration was created by Scott Olson.
The most popular option among lottery winners is an immediate cash lump sum.
The full $1.28 billion prize can be taken before taxes are paid out over 29 years with 30 annual payments of $46 million.
The winner of the lottery would get $470.7 million if they chose the cash prize and $26.9 million a year if they paid taxes.
State and city taxes could be due by the winner.
This is the third time that the lottery has reached $1 billion. An anonymous resident of South Carolina was the winner of the lottery's largest ever prize. By matching all six numbers, you have a 1 in 302 million chance of winning the grand prize.
This is how much the $1 Billion Mega Millions winner will take home after taxes.
