One winning ticket was sold in South Carolina for Tuesday night’s record-shattering Mega Millions jackpot worth at least $1.6 billion, the state’s official lottery website reported.

The South Carolina Education Lottery said early Wednesday morning that one ticket had matched all six numbers to win the top prize in Tuesday's record-breaking $1.6 billion Mega Millions draw.

The jackpot winner can choose to take either an annuity for the full prize, paid out over 30 years, or a lump sum that would come to about $905 million before taxes.

Mega Millions said it was the largest lottery prize in history , surpassing a $1.586 billion Powerball jackpot that was shared between three tickets in 2016.

The next Mega Millions drawing, which will occur on Oct. 26, will offer a jackpot worth $40 million.
