Tuesday’s Mega Millions jackpot is now over a half a billion dollars, but that doesn’t even rank in the top 10 of all-time U.S. lottery prizes.
It’s just one-quarter of the record $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot won in November by someone in Southern California.
In fact, the Golden State seems to be a lucky place to buy the winning ticket of a huge jackpot — three winners of the last 10 largest jackpots bought tickets in California. The latest ticket was purchased in Altadena; in 2021 the winner purchased the ticket in Morro Bay; and in 2016 one of three winning tickets was sold in Chino Hills.
Here’s a list of the 10 largest U.S. jackpots that have been won and the states where the winning tickets were sold, according to the Associated Press:3. $1.537 billion, Mega Millions, Oct. 23, 2018 6. $768.4 million, Powerball, March 27, 2019 9. $699.8 million, Powerball, Oct. 4, 2021
