And the winner is, no one in Maryland.

The Lottery officials said the lucky winner of the record breaking $1.6 billion Mega Million jackpot is in South Carolina. 

The winning ticket was won Tuesday night, matching the numbers: 5, 28, 62, 65, 70, the gold Mega Ball 5.

This was a historical jackpot win, knocking out the former record breaking Mega Million prize win of $656 million in March 2012. 

Your chance to win begins later this week. The jackpot resets Friday, October 26 starting at $40 million.
