There had not been a winner since May 7, when a family from New Jersey won a $429.6 million jackpot.

Tickets are sold in 44 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Jackpot winners can choose between an annuity paid out over 29 years or a cash option. The big jackpot prize that gets most attention refers to the annuity, but most winners choose the cash option. To the lottery, the payout is the same.
