The most recent big Mega Millions winner was a lucky lottery ticket holder in Arizona, who struck gold on Jan. 18, winning a $113 million jackpot. According to the lottery, only four tickets matched all six Mega Millions numbers in 2024 – the fewest jackpots won in a calendar year since the game began in 2002.

The Powerball jackpot for Wednesday’s lottery drawing has climbed to an estimated $154 million, with a cash option of $71.4 million. No one across the country hit Monday’s $142 million jackpot. A second-prize ticket matching five numbers but not the Powerball was sold in Wisconsin.
