Mississippi's Lottery Is Only a Few Years Old
Mississippi has the shortest modern lottery history in this group. After decades of failed legislative attempts dating to 1990, Governor Phil Bryant signed the Alyce G. Clarke Mississippi Lottery Law in August 2018, named for the state representative who introduced lottery bills for more than twenty years running. The first tickets — scratch-offs only — went on sale November 25, 2019. Mega Millions and Powerball didn't arrive until January 30, 2020, and Lotto America wasn't added until May 2024.
That means Mississippi's national jackpot games have been running for well under a decade, a fraction of the 30+ year track record in states like Florida or New York. Fewer years in operation means fewer total draws the state has been eligible for, which alone makes an early jackpot statistically less likely — on top of a population that, while larger than Wyoming's or North Dakota's, still trails most states that have already produced a national jackpot winner.
The lottery has moved quickly on the numbers that matter for the state budget. By law, the first $80 million generated each fiscal year goes to the Mississippi Department of Transportation for road and bridge projects, with everything above that threshold flowing into the state's Education Enhancement Fund. Since November 2019, the Mississippi Lottery has transferred more than $635 million back to the state — over $377 million to the Highway Fund and more than $142 million to education — on gross ticket sales that have topped $2 billion.
Prizes paid out to players have themselves exceeded $1 billion, including the state's first big win: a $2 million Mega Millions prize claimed by a player from Gautier just seven months after launch, in June 2020. Nearly 2,000 licensed retailers now sell Mississippi Lottery products statewide.
Given the lottery's short operating history, an absence of a tracked national jackpot winner here is expected rather than unusual. This page will update as soon as a verified Powerball or Mega Millions jackpot win is confirmed in the state.
💡 Mississippi joined Powerball and Mega Millions in 2019, making it one of the newest lottery states. Participation continues to grow across draw and scratch games.
