• A Mega Millions ticket purchased in Illinois won an estimated $1.28 billion.
• The built-up value makes it the second largest jackpot in Mega Millions history.

One Mega Millions ticket worth an estimated $1.28 billion was claimed in Illinois on Friday night.

According to the Illinois lottery, the winning ticket was purchased at a speedway gas station in Des Plaines, playing the numbers 13-36-45-57-67-14.

The winning ticket holder can choose between receiving a one-time payment of $780.5 million cash or $1.337 billion spread over annually.

"We are thrilled to have witnessed one of the biggest jackpot wins in Mega Millions history," said Ohio Lottery Director Pat McDonald, who is also the Lead Director for the Mega Millions Consortium, in a statement Saturday morning.

"This exciting jackpot run has had a significant positive impact on the revenues for good causes raised by our member lotteries."

The winning ticket on Friday was the second largest in 20 years, Megamillions said in the statement.

According to the statement, 26 tickets won a secondary prize of at least $1 million by matching the first five numbers — and of those 26 tickets, six doubled their prize money by playing the optional additional $1 Megaplier.

Nearly 400 tickets won the third tier prize of at least $10,000 for matching four white balls, plus the MegaBall, and of those, 68 chose to play the Megaplier, doubling their prize money to $20,000, according to the statement.

14,391,740 total winning tickets were sold across all prize tiers, according to Megamillions.

The next jackpot, set to draw on Tuesday, resets to a starting value of $20 million or $11.6 million in cash.
