A lucky someone who purchased a Mega Millions ticket in Florida has won Tuesday night’s US$1.58 billion (C$2.12 billion) jackpot, the lottery announced.

The win is the largest in Mega Millions history, and the third-largest lottery jackpot ever doled out in the U.S., according to the Florida lottery. Though the winner’s identity hasn’t been announced publicly, the successful ticket was sold at a Publix supermarket in Neptune Beach, Fla.

"I'm happy but a little bit depressed because I didn't come out and buy them,” resident Chris Smeehuyzen said. “It's gonna change the whole town. I think it's gonna turn upside down. We have no idea.”

The lucky winner can claim their prize in a lump sum or annuity payments over 30 years, both of which are taxed. Tuesday’s lucky numbers were 13, 19, 20, 32 and 33 with a gold Mega Ball of 14.
