The existence of lensed quasars with splitting angles larger than 7'' has been predicted on the basis of the cold dark matter model. We searched for these large-separation lensed quasars from the spectroscopically classified ˜40,000 quasars obtained by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), and succeeded in discovering the first lensed quasar by a cluster of galaxies, SDSS J1004+4112: It consists of four images, and the maximum separation is 14.62''. Here we describe the discovery and the follow-up observations of this system, as well as the latest results of the large-separation lens search in the SDSS. We also present the new statistical model which fully incorporates non-sphericity of dark halos, and compare the theoretical predictions with the SDSS results.
