“If those are the numbers on your Mega Millions lottery ticket, you’ve won a jackpot worth a world record $640 million,” USA Today is reporting. “Lottery ticket-holders in Kansas, Illinois and Maryland each selected the winning numbers and will split a $640 million jackpot that was believed to be the world’s largest such prize, a lottery official said Saturday.
“Mike Lang, spokesman for the Illinois Lottery, said his state’s winning ticket was sold in the small town of Red Bud, near St. Louis. The winner used a quick pick to select the numbers, he said.
“The Maryland Lottery announced earlier Saturday that it had sold a winning ticket at a retail store in Baltimore County.
