He bought his winning ticket at Holt Fine Liquor and Spirits at 2102 Aurelius Road in Holt. Holt is about 10 miles south of Lansing.

"I scanned one of my tickets at Speedway and the scanner told me to see the clerk, the clerk scanned it and said that she couldn’t cash it because I had won too much," Tackett told the Michigan Lottery. “I went home to check my ticket and that is when I realized I’d matched five numbers."

In the Mega Millions drawing on Tuesday, a single winning ticket was sold in South Carolina for the record-breaking Mega Millions jackpot. The jackpot had swelled to $1.6 billion. It was the largest jackpot in history.

Mega Millions drawings take place each Tuesday and Friday evening. Each Mega Millions play is only $2. For an additional $1 per play, players have the opportunity to add a “Megaplier” that can multiply non-jackpot prizes by up to five times.
