One winning ticket in record $1.6b US lotto jackpot
    2018-10-25  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

A SINGLE winning ticket has been identified in the record-setting US$1.6 billion Mega Millions lottery jackpot, organizers said yesterday.

A single ticket holder in South Carolina will claim that bounty, Mega Millions said on its website. The winner has not been identified.

Mega Millions said the jackpot is not only a U.S. record but a worldwide lottery record.

The record jackpot had set off a lottery frenzy across America, with people lining up at convenience stores, supermarkets and liquor stores to buy a US$2 ticket that gave them a roughly one in 300 million chance of winning.

The winner can take US$913 million in a lump sum cash payment or the whole pile in annuities over 29 years.

Until now the U.S. record jackpot was US$1.586 billion for a lottery called Powerball in 2016. It was split three ways by ticket holders. Each took home US$528.8 million.  (SD-Agencies)
