'We're eager to find out who won and look forward to congratulating the winner soon!' 9News
According to megamillions.com, there was one jackpot-winning ticket in the draw Friday night, and it was bought at a Speedway gas station and convenience store in Des Plaines.Vehicles are parked outside the Illinois Speedway gas station where the winning Mega Millions lottery ticket was sold.
Lottery officials had estimated the winning take at $US1.28 billion, but revised the number up to $1.337 billion on Saturday. Illinois is among the states where winners of more than $250,000 can choose to not reveal their names and Illinois Lottery spokeswoman Emilia Mazur said the vast majority of those winners do just that.
One thing the winner must do immediately is sign the ticket. That's because if the ticket hasn't been signed then it really isn't yours. If the winner loses an unsigned ticket and another person finds it and signs it, the ticket now belongs to them."Take a Polaroid of you holding it and it in a safe deposit box or somewhere else safe," she said.
