Maine resident wins $1.35 billion Mega Millions jackpot, largest prize in state’s history

A ticket purchased in Maine has matched the winning numbers for the Mega Millions lottery’s estimated $1.35 billion grand prize. The lucky numbers drawn were 30, 43, 45, 46, 61, and the gold Mega Ball 14. The winner, whose identity is currently unknown, beat the odds of 1 in 302.6 million, which led to three months of drawings and 25 consecutive drawings without a claim on the jackpot. This is the first Mega Millions jackpot for the state of Maine and the second largest in the game’s history, with the largest jackpot of $1.53 billion being claimed by a single ticket holder in South Carolina in October 2018
