There have been four Mega Millions jackpots north of $1 billion, with the largest being a $1.537 billion jackpot in October of 2018, with a single winning ticket sold in South Carolina.

To win the largest lottery prize of the year so far, a Powerball ticket buyer has to overcome astronomical odds of 1 in 292.2 million.

This marks the 10th time that a Mega Millions lottery jackpot was won in Virginia since the game launched 23 years ago
