A single ticket holder has won around $1.35bn (£1.1bn) in the US Mega Millions lottery.
After three months of draws that failed to produce a winner, the winning numbers were finally announced on Friday.
They were: 30, 43, 45, 46, 61 and Gold Mega Ball 14.
The jackpot was won in the state of Maine and is the fourth largest in US history, lottery organizers said.
The $1.35 billion grand prize is for a winner who takes an annuity with annual payments over 29 years.
Winners almost always choose the cash option – which for Friday night’s draw was estimated at $724.6m (£593.4m).
The next grand prize will be $20m (£16.3m) and the cash option will be $10.7m (£8.7m), indicating there was a winner of the estimated $1.35 billion prize.
