(Columbia, SC)  —  Someone in South Carolina has about a billion reasons to celebrate.

The state education lottery announced last night that a winning Mega Millions ticket was sold in the state.  It’s not clear where the ticket was sold.  The jackpot was more than one-and-a-half billion dollars.  It’s the largest US lottery jackpot ever.  It’s not clear if there are any other jackpot winners.  If there are not, the sole winner could opt for a lump sum of more than 905 million dollars.  Texas did get at least one winner, a ticket worth $3 Million was sold at a 7-11 in San Antonio.

The winning numbers were 5, 28, 62, 65, 70 and the Mega number was 5.
