The $1.28 billion Mega Millions jackpot was won last night by a single ticket in Illinois, along with a $1 million winner in Kentucky.
Sold in Richmond, the ticket matched the five winning numbers: 13 – 36 – 45 – 57 – 67.
And while it didn’t match the Mega Ball of 14, the ticket had enough to win the game’s second prize of $1 million.
The names of the Illinois and Kentucky winners have not been released.
Winners are encouraged to sign the back of their tickets and keep them in a safe place. They have 180 days from the drawing date to claim their prize in Louisville at lottery headquarters.
Kentucky Lottery President and CEO Mary Harville said, “We’re looking forward to welcoming Kentucky’s newest millionaire.”
