A steelworker in the United States has hit the jackpot, winning $US 275 million in the Georgia state lottery. It's the largest jackpot won by a single player in its 15-year history and the third largest in Mega Millions.
First of all, Robert Harris and his wife Tonya are planning to replace their trailer home in a farming town of Portal with a new house, and buy a new four-wheel-drive truck.
Robert says he chose the numbers using his grandchildren's' birthdays and will use the windfall to send them to college.
Mega Millions tickets are sold in 12 states.
