Somebody has just won a lotto jackpot of $1.6 billion.
The staggering jackpot, equivalent to about €1.4 billion, was won by somebody in the United States earlier this week.
Lotto officials are calling it the largest jackpot to have ever been won.
The Mega Millions jackpot ticket was sold in South Carolina and matched all six of Tuesday's numbers - 5, 28, 62, 65, 70 and the Mega Ball of 5.
The chance of matching all of the number in Tuesday's draw was one in 302.5 million.
Officials are expecting it will take a few days for the lucky winner to come forward.
They will then need to devise an investment strategy for their money and - depending on what state they are from - decide whether they want to go public with the win.
