The jackpot was last won in October when two winning tickets purchased in Florida and California split a $502 million prize.

The largest Mega Millions jackpot was won on Oct. 23, 2018, when someone in South Carolina won $1.537 billion. For more than four years, that was the largest lottery prize ever won on a single ticket.

In July, a ticket purchased in Illinois matched all five white balls and the Mega ball to win a $1.3 billion jackpot.

An Oakland County lottery club won the $1.05 billion in 2021. That jackpot was the largest ever won in Michigan and the fifth-largest in U.S. lottery history.
