A lottery ticket purchased in Novi is the winner of Friday’s $1 billion Mega Millions jackpot.
The top prize drawn on Friday is the third-largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history.
According to the Michigan Lottery, the winning ticket was bought at the Kroger store, located at 47650 Grand River Avenue in Novi. The holder of the winning ticket has not yet come forward.
The winning numbers are: 4, 26, 42, 50, 60 and a Mega Ball of 24.
The Mega Millions jackpot had been growing since Sept. 15, when a winning ticket was sold in Wisconsin.
The winner will have two options to collect the record prize. The first is an escalating annuity that offers an initial payment, then annual payments for 29 years. The player also may select a one-time cash payment of about $739 million. If a player selects the cash option, they will receive about $530 million after tax withholdings.
Friday night's drawing comes two days after a ticket sold in Maryland matched all six numbers drawn and won a $731.1 million Powerball jackpot.
