Where do the top Mega Millions winners call home as we approach the drawing on January 10, 2023?
The Mega Millions prize for the drawing that will take place on Tuesday, January 10 is an endeavour into uncharted territory.
The Mega Millions jackpot has only exceeded the $1 billion mark a total of three times prior to this drawing. The Powerball jackpot has already surpassed that dizzyingly high amount twice before.
And if Tuesday’s drawing is matched by just one lucky ticketholder, that person will claim the jackpot, which was estimated to be $1.1 billion as of Monday afternoon. This would make the prize the third largest in the history of the Mega Millions lottery, But it would only be the fifth largest in Powerball drawings were included.
The cash option for the drawing that will take place on Tuesday is now set at $568.7 million.
Who exactly is the lucky winner of such enormous jackpots? The question is, from whence did they originate? (Here’s a spoiler: none of them was from Ohio.)
The Jackpocket lottery blog has prepared a list of the top 10 Mega Millions wins. Here are those results. In the event that someone takes home the trophy on Tuesday, those who finished higher than second will fall.
On October 23, 2018, the winning amount was $1.537 billion
This enormous Mega Millions jackpot is only topped by two Powerball jackpots: a winning ticket for $2.04 billion that was sold on November 8, 2022, and a jackpot of $1.586 billion that was won on January 13, 2016.
A gamer who wishes to remain nameless purchased the ticket in Simpsonville, South Carolina, which is a very tiny town located around 22 kilometres south of Greenville.
According to the South Carolina Education Lottery Commission, the purchaser elected to remain anonymous and accepted a lump sum payment of $877,784,124.
The income taxes that the state would have received from the reward totalled $61,000.
The amount of $1.337.2 billion was won on July 29, 2022
Only one winning ticket was purchased for the second-highest Mega Millions jackpot in the game’s history.
Even though it was apparent that there could only be one winner, the identity of the person who had the winning ticket wasn’t revealed until September.
The award was claimed by a partnership that had previously discussed how it would divide the winnings in the event that one of its members had the winning ticket. The members of the partnership have decided to conceal their identities.
A prize of $1.05 billion was won on January 22, 2021
This reward was split between four participants in a lottery club in Detroit.
The four people were participants in a lottery pool that was known as the “Wolverine FLL Club.” Participants in the pool each purchase a ticket with the understanding that any winnings would be distributed evenly among them.
The members of the club, who want to remain anonymous, issued a statement in which they stated their intention “to remain modest and pay it forward by contributing to philanthropic organisations in southeast Michigan.”
A total of $656 million was won on March 30, 2012
This prize was shared among three winning tickets, one each from the states of Illinois, Kansas, and Maryland. The computer chose two of the three winning numbers at random, and those numbers appeared on two of the winning tickets. According to the Maryland lottery, the total amount won by each individual was about $105.1 million after taxes.
A prize of $648 million was won on December 17, 2013
This prize was shared between two winning tickets, one from the state of California and one from the state of Georgia.
Ira Curry, of Stone Mountain, Georgia, selected the numbers by using the birth dates of his family members. She decided to take the cash settlement, which was worth $123 million after taxes.
Steve Tran, a resident of California, purchased his ticket in San Jose and opted for the cash payment option. After he won, he immediately contacted his supervisor to explain why he hadn’t shown up for work.
“I truly need to apologise, boss. I really lucked out this time. I just don’t see myself coming in today, tomorrow, or ever.”
$543 million, won on July 24, 2018
This windfall was shared among eleven coworkers in California who participated in an office pool.
At the time, all eleven individuals were employed by Wells Fargo in San Jose.
On July 8, 2016, the winner took home $536 Million
A couple from Indiana struck it rich after picking up five Quick Pick random tickets while they were on a road trip. The couple made the decision to conceal their identity and collected their award via an attorney’s office in the state.
On March 30, 2018, a prize of $533 million was won
On March 30, 2018, a guy from New Jersey took home the prize for the state’s highest jackpot in the history of the state. He made the decision to take the one-time lump sum payout, which amounted to around $175 million after taxes. He decided to put his good fortune to use by restoring a 1964 Corvette and also intended to make a sizeable contribution to a charitable organisation.
A prize of $522,000,000 was won on June 7th, 2019
On June 7, 2019, a lady from San Diego claimed this reward for half a billion dollars. This winning ticket was also the product of a Quick Pick, as was the case before. The fortunate winner decided to choose the cash option, which was worth $340 million before taxes, and she said that she intended to use her newfound wealth to pay off her debt and purchase a new house.
A prize of $516,000,000 was won on May 21st, 2021
This prize was won by the “Peace of Mind” trust, which consisted of five people and was located in eastern Pennsylvania. It was a Quick Pick that turned out to be the winning ticket.
They indicated via their attorneys that they selected anonymity because they wanted to maintain their lives as normal as possible after opting for the cash lump-sum reward of $348 million. The winners of the lottery picked this option.
Which state has the most people who have won the Mega Millions?
It should come as no surprise that the states with the most inhabitants also rank among those with the most lottery jackpot winners.
There have been forty people in New York who have won the Mega Millions jackpot. New York is the fourth most populated state in the US. The state with the second-highest number of winners, California, is also the most populated.
New Jersey comes in at number 10 with 22 victories, followed by Ohio with 20, Michigan with 18, Georgia with 17, Illinois with 14, Texas with 13, Maryland with 11, and Virginia with 9.
