Those states include California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, New York and Ohio.Officials say this is the highest jackpot ever won in the Garden State, adding that it's been a lucky seven days for New Jersey with 19 winners of $10,000 or more, just in this week!He said the winnings landed him an early retirement.The next Powerball drawing is on Wednesday.
The Mega Millions prize ranks as the 8th largest in U.S. lottery history and is about half the size of the largest jackpot, a $2.04 billion Powerball prize won in November 2022. To put those odds in perspective, lottery officials note that after a win when jackpots reset at $20 million, total ticket sales typically cover less than 10% of all the possible number combinations. As jackpots climb to $1 billion or more, sales increase dramatically but still usually cover only about half of the possible combinations.Of course, millions or people do win smaller prizes that range from $2 to $2 million.
