A person in Florida won a $1.58 billion prize in the Mega Millions lottery Tuesday night, following nearly four months without a winner.
The winning numbers were 13, 19, 20, 32, 33 and 14 on the yellow ball.
Before Tuesday’s draw there had been 31 rounds in a row since the last time someone won the top prize, on April 18. That allowed the jackpot to grow to become the third largest in US history.
Mega Millions winners are very few thanks to the slim odds of winning the grand prize, one in 302.6 million.
The winner would receive a payment of 1,580 million dollars if he opts for an annual fee spread over 30 years. But people tend to prefer a single payment, which in this case is estimated at regarding $783.3 million.
The amount is subject to federal income tax. Many states also tax lottery winnings.
Mega Millions is played in 45 states, Washington DC, and the US Virgin Islands.
