美國最強錦鯉誕生！彩票中了16個億
A single ticket has scooped the entire record-breaking $1.54billion Mega Millions jackpot following the draw on Tuesday night.
在週二晚上抽籤結果發佈結束後，一張彩票獲得了破紀錄的15.4億美元鉅額獎金。
Nothing is known about the lucky winner save that they bought their ticket in South Carolina. Under state law winners can remain anonymous, meaning we may never learn their identity.
除了知道他們從南卡羅來納州買的彩票之外，沒有人知道誰是那個幸運的贏家。根據州法律，獲獎者可以保持匿名，這意味着我們可能永遠不知道他們的身份。
The prize makes them the richest lottery winner in US history, and likely marks the single largest lottery prize awarded anywhere in the world.
該獎項使他們成爲美國曆史上最富有的彩票獲獎者，並有可能成爲世界上獲得的最大單一彩票獎。
In 2016 a jackpot of $1.56billion was offered in the Powerball draw but was split three ways, meaning the individual prizes were far smaller than Tuesday's draw.
2016年，在強力球彩票抽出了15.6億美元的累積獎金，但是這個獎金被三個獲獎者瓜分，這意味着那次的開獎個人獎金遠遠小於這週二的開獎。
It was initially reported that the jackpot was a US record of $1.6billion, but it was revised down to $1.54billion on Wednesday morning which is a Mega Millions record and narrowly the second-biggest jackpot in US history.
最初據報道，此次獎金是在美國創紀錄的16億美元，但在週三早上被修改爲15.4億美元，這是超級百萬的最高紀錄，也是美國曆史上第二大彩票獎金。
The numbers drawn were 5, 28, 62, 65, 70 with a Mega Ball of 5. They were pulled after no one hit all the numbers listed during Friday's historic draw.
開獎得出的數字是5,28,62,65,70，其中最後的超級球爲5。這些數字在星期五的極具歷史意義的抽籤中因爲沒有人中所有列出的數字之後被重新開出。
South Carolina state officials are now set to scoop up to $60 million in taxes from the win, while federal authorities will take more than $200 million.
南卡羅來納州的官員現在準備從這個大獎中獲得高達6000萬美元的稅收，而聯邦當局將獲得超過2億美元的稅收。
The jackpot has been growing since July, when a group of California office workers won $543 million. It now resets to $40 million. Gordon Medenica, Lead Director of the Mega Millions Group, said: 'The moment we've been waiting for finally arrived, and we couldn't be more excited.
自7月份以來，這個彩票獎金一直在增長，當時一羣加州辦公室工作人員還贏得了5.43億美元。現在獎金被重置爲4000萬美元。
It costs $2 to play the game, but the odds of matching all six numbers and taking home the grand prize is a remote 1 in 302.5 million.
買一張彩票需要花費2美元，但匹配所有六個數字並帶回大獎的機率是一個極小的3.025億分之1。
Mega Millions is played in 44 states as well as Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
超級百萬集團首席董事戈登梅德尼卡說：“我們等待的那一刻終於到來了，我們非常興奮。
The Mega Millions is coordinated by the Multi-State Lottery Association, along with several other lottery games including one called Powerball.
超級百萬由多州彩票協會和其他幾款彩票協調，其中包括一款名爲強力球的彩票。
