What is the World’s Biggest Lottery Jackpot Ever?

Jacobs March 24, 2021 2 min read

If you have ever asked yourself the question, “What is the world’s largest lottery Jackpot ever?” then you are not alone. There are countless people all over the world who are wondering about the history of lottery jackpots. While we can’t tell you exactly what has been won, we can tell you that the biggest jackpot was won in Asia. This jackpot was worth over RMB570 million, or about US$90.3 million.

This record-breaking jackpot was split among three winners. The first winner was a single mother from South Carolina. The other two winners came from Illinois and Texas. The prize was split equally among the three winners of the second-place lottery jackpot in South Carolina. It was the first time that anonymous lottery winners could be revealed. In addition, the winner’s name was not made public. The second lottery winner claimed her prize on behalf of a trust.

The second-largest jackpot was won in January 2016. The Powerball jackpot was $1.6 billion in January 2016. It was the largest lottery windfall in U.S. history. The jackpot has since been growing since a single ticket sold in Florida won $286 million in early June. There have been 38 drawings with no grand prize winner. A number of other records were broken and the jackpot is currently worth a staggering PS1.586 billion.

The US Powerball game has had the largest jackpot ever won. The jackpot was $1.586 billion, and was split between three winners. It was also the biggest single lottery jackpot in the world in 2017 – $1.537 billion. The winner of the Mega Millions jackpot remained anonymous and set up a foundation for her deceased grandson. A number of people have since won the jackpots. And they are just the start of their lucky journey to fortune. It would be incredible to be one of them.

Spain has been playing lotteries for centuries. Its biggest national lottery, La Primitiva, paid out EUR101.7 million in October 2015. While other lotteries have bigger individual top prizes, Spain has the biggest first jackpot in the world. The country’s Christmas lotteries have been a staple for centuries, including the El Gordo lottery, which paid EUR33 million in 2011.

In May 2013, the Mega Millions jackpot topped $758.7 million before taxes. The winning ticket was purchased by John and Lisa Robinson. The couple had already purchased a new car and tickets for a St. Louis Cardinals game before cashing in. In 2002, Jack Whittaker won $314.9 million in the Powerball. However, he had his car broken into twice, and his uninsured home was destroyed by fire. In August 2017, Mavis L. Wanczyk won the $758.7 million jackpot with the Megaplier.

Hugh Lundy, a retired bus driver from Kilsyth, Scotland, has shared the record for the largest Postcode Lottery win. With two tickets bought, he has PS2 million to spend on his family. The money is going to help buy a new bungalow for her father, a cruise and other things. Hopefully, the family will be able to use it for a holiday.
