Jackpot History
Real Powerball and Mega Millions jackpot winners — store locations, amounts, and dates
Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots can be won anywhere tickets are sold — convenience stores, gas stations, supermarkets, and increasingly through online lottery apps. The store that sells a winning ticket typically receives a bonus from the state lottery.
Indiana has produced the most Powerball jackpot winners of any state, with 39 winners representing nearly 10% of all jackpots. New York leads in Mega Millions wins with 44 jackpots claimed.
Recent mega-jackpots include the $2.04 billion Powerball won in California in November 2022 — the largest lottery jackpot in US history — and the $1.817 billion Powerball won in Arkansas on Christmas Eve 2025.
Four states have never produced a Powerball jackpot winner: Maine, Mississippi, North Dakota, and Wyoming — though all participate in the game.
