The Illinois Lottery Website shows a winning ticket has been sold for the second biggest jackpot in Mega Millions history.

The giant jackpot was the nation’s second-largest prize and is the result of 29 consecutive drawings without anyone matching all of the game’s six numbers. The last time someone hit the Mega Millions jackpot was April 15.

If no one would have hit the Mega Millions jackpot Friday night, lottery officials expected the prize will grow to $1.7 billion for the next drawing Tuesday, making it the nation’s largest lottery prize.

The Mega Millions jackpot has now dropped to $20 million. The next drawing is set for Tuesday.

The estimated $1.28 billion prize is for players who get their winnings through an annuity, paid annually over 29 years. Nearly all winners take the cash option, which for Friday’s drawing is an estimated $747.2 million. Just know about a third of that goes to federal taxes and then another slice goes to state taxes, depending on where the winner lives.

There are a total of nine ways to win a prize in Mega Millions, ranging from the jackpot down to $2:
