Each ticket holder will have the choice between an annuitized prize of $893.5 million or a lump sum payment of $410.3 million. Both prize options are before taxes. If a winner selects the annuity option, they will receive one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5% each year.

LEGO has announced their most expensive set ever for $1000.

It’s a Star Wars Death Star set. It’s part of the Ultimate Collector Series. It has 9,023 pieces and comes with 38 characters, including three versions of Luke Skywalker and two versions of Han Solo. It’s 28 inches tall, 32 inches wide, and 11 inches deep.

It’s a cross-section of the Death Star, so it’s disc-shaped, rather than a sphere. There are different rooms, like the trash compactor, Emperor Palpatine’s throne, Princess Leia’s holding cell, and the Imperial shuttle hangar.

The Death Star comes out October 4th, but you can sign up for early access at Lego.com.
