A single ticket has scooped² the entire record-breaking $1.54billion Mega Millions jackpot following the draw on Tuesday night.

在周二晚上抽签结果发布结束后，一张彩票获得了破纪录的15.4亿美元巨额奖金。

Nothing is known about the lucky winner save that they bought their ticket in South Carolina. Under state law winners can remain anonymous³, meaning we may never learn their identity.

除了知道他们从南卡罗来纳州买的彩票之外，没有人知道谁是那个幸运的赢家。根据州法律，获奖者可以保持匿名，这意味着我们可能永远不知道他们的身份。

The prize makes them the richest lottery⁴ winner in US history, and likely marks the single largest lottery prize awarded anywhere in the world.

该奖项使他们成为美国历史上最富有的彩票获奖者，并有可能成为世界上获得的最大单一彩票奖。

In 2016 a jackpot of $1.56billion was offered in the Powerball draw but was split three ways, meaning the individual prizes were far smaller than Tuesday's draw.

2016年，在强力球彩票抽出了15.6亿美元的累积奖金，但是这个奖金被三个获奖者瓜分，这意味着那次的开奖个人奖金远远小于这周二的开奖。

It was initially⁵ reported that the jackpot was a US record of $1.6billion, but it was revised down to $1.54billion on Wednesday morning which is a Mega Millions record and narrowly the second-biggest jackpot in US history.

最初据报道，此次奖金是在美国创纪录的16亿美元，但在周三早上被修改为15.4亿美元，这是超级百万的最高纪录，也是美国历史上第二大彩票奖金。

The numbers drawn⁶ were 5, 28, 62, 65, 70 with a Mega Ball of 5. They were pulled after no one hit all the numbers listed during Friday's historic draw.

开奖得出的数字是5,28,62,65,70，其中最后的超级球为5。这些数字在星期五的极具历史意义的抽签中因为没有人中所有列出的数字之后被重新开出。

South Carolina state officials are now set to scoop¹ up to $60 million in taxes from the win, while federal authorities will take more than $200 million.

南卡罗来纳州的官员现在准备从这个大奖中获得高达6000万美元的税收，而联邦当局将获得超过2亿美元的税收。

The jackpot has been growing since July, when a group of California office workers won $543 million. It now resets⁷ to $40 million. Gordon Medenica, Lead Director of the Mega Millions Group, said: 'The moment we've been waiting for finally arrived, and we couldn't be more excited.

自7月份以来，这个彩票奖金一直在增长，当时一群加州办公室工作人员还赢得了5.43亿美元。现在奖金被重置为4000万美元。

It costs $2 to play the game, but the odds⁸ of matching all six numbers and taking home the grand prize is a remote 1 in 302.5 million.

买一张彩票需要花费2美元，但匹配所有六个数字并带回大奖的几率是一个极小的3.025亿分之1。

Mega Millions is played in 44 states as well as Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin⁹ Islands.

超级百万集团首席董事戈登梅德尼卡说：“我们等待的那一刻终于到来了，我们非常兴奋。

The Mega Millions is coordinated¹⁰ by the Multi-State Lottery Association, along with several other lottery games including one called Powerball.

超级百万由多州彩票协会和其他几款彩票协调，其中包括一款名为强力球的彩票。
