Earlier this month, Greenville County had a legitimate lottery winner of their own, with one lucky gambler purchasing a ticket worth $50,000.
But on Tuesday, March 10, one person in Illinois won a whopping $533million in the Mega Millions.
The astonishing sum has a one-time, instant cash value of $244.2million, or the winner can opt to receive a smaller immediate payment followed by exponentially-growing annual cheques.
It marks the first jackpot of 2026, with the last win coming on December 2 in New Jersey.
There have been 28 drawings since.
