What is the first thing you do if you become a billionaire overnight? A lucky lottery winner in the USA knows, having won 1.22 billion dollars – equivalent to over 13 billion kronor.

When the lottery was drawn, it was initially unknown if anyone had bought the winning ticket. The game's odds are 1 in 302.6 million, and it is the fifth-highest win in the game's history, according to the company Mega Millions.

If the winner chooses to take out the money over a 29-year period, the person will receive the entire sum. Most people, however, choose to take out the winnings in a lump sum, which in this case amounts to 549.7 million dollars.
