At least one ticket in the $1.6 billion Mega Million jackpot has hit all six numbers.

One lucky person in South Carolina could be named the winner of the biggest lottery in US history.

Officials in South Carolina said they had a winner in the state, while others states are yet to report results.

If no other winners are found, the lucky ticket-holder could claim the entire record-breaking jackpot. There is a cash option of $913 million for the total prize.
