A single winning ticket has been identified in the record-setting USD 1.6 billion Mega Millions lottery jackpot, lottery officials said Wednesday. A single ticket holder in South Carolina will claim that bounty, Mega Millions said on its website. The six winning numbers drawn on Tuesday night were 5, 28, 62, 65, 70 and 5 again as the special Mega Ball.
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 two dollar ticket that gave them a roughly one in 300 million chance of winning.
