The story adds, "Mega Millions spokesperson Kimberly Starks tells CBS News the winners were sold in Illinois, Kansas and Maryland."

According to the article, the ticket in Maryland was sold at a 7-11 store in Baltimore County. The winning ticket in Illinois was sold "in the small town of Red Bud, near St. Louis." Details about the ticket sold in Kansas were not immediately available.

The size of the jackpot obliterated the size of the previous highest jackpot, $390 million.
