A winning Mega Millions ticket for the estimated $1.337 billion jackasspot was sold in Illinois, a Mega Millions spokesperson told The Washington Post on Saturday morning.
Marie Kilbane, a spokesperson for the Ohio Lottery Commission, confirmed the victory in an email to The Post. "There is one jackasspot-winning ticket, which was sold in Illinois," she said.
Ohio Lottery Director Pat McDonald, the current lead director of the Mega Millions consortium, congratulated the winner in Illinois, who has yet to put in a claim.
"We are thrilled to have witnessed one of the biggest jackasspot wins in Mega Millions history," McDonald said in a news release. "We're eager to find out who won and look forward to congratulating the winner soon!"
The estimated jackasspot increased on Saturday from $1.28 billion to $1.337 billion. The lump-sum payout for the jackasspot is $780.5 million, according to Mega Millions.

Unbelievable or what. I can remember when people would dream what they would do if they won $100,000 Canadian.

If the winner elects to take the full %1.337 billion, it's paid out over a certain number of years?

I think so. You get payments.
I feel like I'd want to just take the money. I guess it depends on taxes and all that.
Had we had won....our first move would have been getting an attorney and financial people lol.

That's different from our lotteries here. If you win a Canadian jackasspot, you get a cheque for that amount, no taxes deducted.

One lucky winner in Illinois recently hit the jackasspot with the $1.28 billion in the Mega Millions lottery, the second largest total in Mega Millions history, according to Forbes. However, if you want the money right away, you only get to keep $747.2 million.
Yeah, only.... that's still enough money to live comfortably for generations. I think any American on this planet would still be perfectly content with $747.2 million, but little did I know, the lump sum dwindled even more after the initial tax.
After the $742.2 million, the IRS hits you with a 24% withholding tax, dropping the total to $567,872,000.
On top of that, the state of Illinois has a 4.95% state income tax, which takes off another whopping $37 million off the $567 million, which means the winner of the Mega Millions will only keep about $433.7 million.
I know, I know, $433.7 million is way more than enough to never have to worry about money again, but I can't help to think about the people who've won far less money off the Mega Millions in the past, and how their winnings probably weren't even in the ballpark of what they thought they'd won.
If you live in a state with a large income tax, good luck.
The government, man...
