Most likely the ground cable has gone bad or come loose at least. Test by using your jumper cable on the negative terminal and hook the other end to the body or engine block and see if you can get lights. If that doesn't work then the positive could also be corroded in two. Both can and do go bad.

Just happened to my car a couple of weeks ago. In my case the wire that goes from the battery to the starter was loose on the starter end. I hope yours is that easy to fix.
