The jackpot was handed out this week, reports Unilad.

It positions the winner as a rival to the net worth of two of the world’s biggest stars: Taylor Swift and The Rock Johnson.

Swift reached billionaire status over the past year, having a net worth of $1.1 billion.

In the case of The Rock, his net worth has been built over the years thanks to his career as an actor and wrestler.

He has an estimated net worth of $800 million.

He’s earned large paychecks from some of his biggest films; for example, he earned a reported $22 million for his role in Black Adam.

He was also rumoredly paid $50 million for the Netflix film Red One.

While the mystery lottery winner made their money in one swoop, it’s unlikely for them to rival Swift or The Rock immediately once they cash out.

The lottery in the US allows participants to cash out in two forms: through one large payment or the full $1.3 billion deposited to their account over 30 years.

If the winner chooses the lump sum method, they’d cash out $621 million after taxes.
