While Friday 13 is usually considered an unlucky day, the superstition didn't ring true for one US lottery player - who won a mammoth jackpot estimated to be worth $1.35 billion.
The unidentified American is said to have purchased the winning ticket in Maine ahead of Friday's Mega Millions draw, which held the second-largest jackpot in the game's entire history according to lottery officials.
The sole ticket holder is said to be the only person to match all six winning numbers of 30, 43, 45, 46 and 61, as well as the coveted gold Mega Ball of 14.
