The odds of winning the jackpot amount is 1 in 292.2 million, according to CNN.

If you win, you can receive the prize as an annuity over 29 years, or as a lump-sum payment of $929.1 million, the California lottery said via CBS News.

The jackpot just broke the world record for the Largest National Lottery Jackpot in the Guinness World Records. Just over three months ago, the Mega Millions jackpot was $1.337 billion and that was the third biggest jackpot at the time.
