A Naperville man has won the largest prize in Illinois Lottery history, officials announced Monday.

The man claimed a $265 million prize after the first line of numbers on his $5 Quick Pick ticket matched all six numbers in the Jan. 16 Mega Millions drawing.

The winning numbers were 26, 32, 44, 45, 58, 11.

Lottery officials plan to present the winner with a check Tuesday.

The news comes less than two weeks after a $1 million Powerball ticket was sold in Illinois.
