The biggest jackpots

$1.537 billion – The largest jackpot for the Mega Millions is also the largest jackpot to ever be won by a single ticket (the Powerball jackpot was split three ways). This ticket was sold in South Carolina and came through in March of 2019.

$656 million – While this is quite a bit lower than the first place jackpot it’s still a huge amount of money and it was won in March of 2012 (so maybe March is a lucky month of the year). $648 million – This jackpot came in just slightly under the second-place jackpot and was actually won by two people. That means it was split in half and the winners got less than either of the previous numbers (and several below as well).

$543 million – This jackpot was won by only a single ticket, but it was split among 11 people who had all went in together to purchase that ticket. They took in a total of $320 million in one lump sum that was split 11 ways.

$533 million – If you’re noticing that jackpots for the Mega Millions tend to be quite high you’re right. This jackpot was won by only a single ticket as well, with one winner out of Indiana. $414 million – Moving down the list we come to a pair of tickets that were sold in Florida and Maryland. These winners split the prize and both chose to take the payout of a single lump sum amount rather than waiting each year.

All winners had to pay taxes of course, but they were still left with a lot of money to spend.
