The largest lottery jackpots in the world have been won by many lucky players. The biggest jackpot won by lottery players was $543 million in the Mega Millions lottery. This jackpot was split among several winning tickets. The winners in this lottery included two people in California and one person in Georgia. Until the Mega Millions jackpot was split in 2013, there were no examples of the largest jackpots. However, one day in 2013, a winning ticket was sold in Kansas. The winning ticket was purchased by Ira Curry, who happened to bet on her daughter’s birthday.
The largest jackpots in lottery games are the ones with the highest starting prize. The US Powerball and Mega Millions draw the largest jackpots. These jackpots reset each time a winning ticket is drawn. The second largest starting prize is the EuroMillions. The top prize in the EuroMillions game starts at EUR17 million and increases with every rollover. The EuroJackpot is another big jackpot in the lottery market, and has a loyal fan base.

Despite the fact that it’s not an easy task to win the biggest jackpots, there are several ways to increase your chances of becoming a millionaire. One of the smartest ways to build wealth is to invest your money. The Mega Millions jackpot, for example, has been worth over $1.6 billion, and it’s still growing each year. And if you win, you’re bound to make it big.
A $4.3 million lottery prize won by Suzanne Mullins in Virginia in 1993 is a case in point. She and her husband had agreed to divide the money with her daughter. However, the annual installments were a mere $50,000 per person. Suzanne Mullins had gotten into debt after taking out a loan, pledging future lottery payments as collateral. Fortunately, she was able to exploit a change in the rules and stop making payments on the loan.
Another example of a winner of the largest jackpot is the man who won a $27 million prize. Five years later, he and his wife spent the money on luxury items and drugs. The winnings were split among three people, with the final two claiming their prize about six months later. That’s the largest jackpot ever won in the United States. Interestingly enough, these jackpots are split between three winners, so that they don’t necessarily have to be won by just one person.
Another winner of a multimillion dollar prize is the couple from England. They were so lucky to win the prize and spent it all in less than four years. They bought a fully furnished house and took several vacations. One of the biggest hits for the couple, however, was a mistake made by one of the couple. They opened a restaurant in Lawrence, Kansas. Unfortunately, it failed within a few years. The money was lost to gambling and other financial mistakes.
