The final amount of winnings increased after the recalculation of the data on tickets sold.
In the US Mega Millions lottery, the winning ticket brought a resident of Illinois $1.33 billion, lottery organizers said.
The owner of the lucky ticket matched all six numbers, which made him the winner.
As the organizers noted, the final size of the winnings increased after recalculating the data on the tickets sold. Previously, the jackpot amount was $1.28 billion.
This was the second largest win in the history of the Mega Millions lottery.
