These are the biggest lottery jackpot winners from Massachusetts

Where are the luckiest stores to buy lottery tickets in Massachusetts?

BOSTON - The Mega Millions jackpot is up to an eye-popping $1.02 billion for Friday night's drawing, with a cash option of $602.5 million. If someone from Massachusetts were to be the sole winner of the jackpot, it would be the biggest lottery win in the state's history.

Mavis Wanczyk holds the current record. Back in 2017, she was the only winner of a $758 million Powerball jackpot, with the winning ticket sold in Chicopee. The biggest Mega Millions jackpot ($294 million) won in the state was claimed by Geraldine Williams of Lowell back in 2004.
