$1.5 BILLION MEGA MILLIONS AND $687 MILLION (WAS $750 MILLION) POWERBALL (BIG LOTTERY WINNERS; a week late)
I am a week late to say this, but the last couple weeks were amazing for the lottery. There were TWO high-rolling jackpots; there was the near record-breaking $1.5 BILLION Mega Millions, and the $687 MILLION (which was supposed to be $750 MILLION) Powerball!
First, the Mega Millions. It hit $1.5 BILLION! This was a near record-breaking jackpot; it was the second biggest jackpot in US HISTORY. It started when it hit $858 MILLION. It kept climbing. Later, it reached $900 MILLION. Before you know it, it reached A BILLION DOLLARS. But, nobody won AGAIN! So it made it to $1.6 BILLION! It was the largest jackpot in US history! Almost. The next day, it was discovered that the $1.6 BILLION jackpot was only worth $1.537 BILLION, and was $49 MILLION short of the $1.586 BILLION Powerball that was set in 2016. So, the old record stood. But it was the largest Mega Millions by $900 MILLION! The former Mega Millions record was set back in 2012, and was only $656 MILLION! ONE PERSON won it in South Carolina.
Now, the Powerball.
2 winners won the $687 MILLION Powerball jackpot in Iowa and New York. It went from $470 MILLION to $620 MILLION to $750 MILLION (which later turned out to be only $687 MILLION)
