One lucky lottery player in Michigan has won the Mega Millions $1 billion jackpot.
The Mega Millions pot rose to $1 billion late Friday, and a winner was announced around 1 a.m. Saturday.
The winning numbers were 4, 26, 42, 50, 60, and 24.
Officials said the jackpot — which works out to $739.6 million as a lump-sum, before taxes — was the third-largest lottery prize in U.S. history.
The winner’s identity has not been revealed.
The Mega Millions drawing comes two days after a person in Maryland found themselves holding the winning ticket for the $731.1 million Powerball jackpot.
