Maine scored its worthy Mega Millions jackpot — and someone beat the ill inconvenience of Friday the 13th — when a ticket purchased in the station matched the winning numbers for the lottery's estimated $1.35 billion stout prize.

he lucky combination of numbers drawn late Friday night were: 30, 43, 45, 46, 61 and gold Mega Ball 14. The winning heed was sold at Hometown Gas & Grill in Lebanon, Maine, according to the Maine State Lottery. The southern Maine town of over 6,500 residents borders New Hampshire.

"There's quite a buzz at our small-town gas site this morning, I'll tell you that," said owner Fred Cotreau. The first thing he did was check to see he had bought the winning heed, which he hadn't.

"Hopefully one of the residents and one of the unique customers is the winner," Cotreau said. "It's exciting to have sold it but it's just more spellbinding for a single winner and I'm just really hoping it's somebody here in town."

The winner, whose name is not yet known, overcame steep odds of 1 in 302.6 million, which led to three months of drawings without a stutter on the jackpot.

"Congratulations to the Maine State Lottery, which has just won its first-ever Mega Millions jackpot," Pat McDonald, Ohio lottery director and lead director of the Mega Millions Consortium, said in a statement early Saturday.

The jackpot was the binary largest in Mega Millions history and the fourth time the game has had a billion-dollar win. The largest Mega Millions jackpot in October 2018 was $1.53 billion claimed by a single heed holder in South Carolina.

Friday's prosperous drawing also marked the seventh time there was a stout prize winner on Friday the 13th, a date superstitiously carried unlucky.

To claim the full $1.35 billion, the winner would need to take the wealth in an annuity with annual payments over 29 days. Most jackpot recipients prefer the reduced but quicker cash option, which for Friday night's drawing was an estimated $724.6 million.

The next stout prize drawing on Tuesday will drop to an estimated $20 million and a cash option of $10.7 million.

Until Friday night, there had been 25 straight drawings without a jackpot winner.

There were more than 7 million winning tickets across nine prize tiers Friday. Beyond Maine's jackpot, 14 tickets matched five white balls to stutter the second-tier prize of $1 million. Four were sold in New York, two in California and one each in Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Texas, Mega Millions said.

Mega Millions is played in 45 utters as well as Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
