If you're someone who only plays the lottery when the jackpot is REALLY big, now's your time to shine. Tonight's Mega Millions drawing is worth an estimated $910 MILLION.

Now I know $910 million is a LOT of money. But believe it or not, it isn't the largest Mega Millions jackpot in history. The largest winning jackpot in Mega Millions history was $1.537 billion, for the October 23, 2018, drawing, in which a single winning jackpot ticket was sold in South Carolina. We never found out who actually won it because they ended up anonymously claiming the prize in 2019.

Before you decide which Mega Million numbers you're going to play, let's take a quick look at people who have gone BROKE after winning a big jackpot. Jay Sommers won $5 million in Michigan back in 1988. He was 20 at the time and now has NONE left. Jeffrey Dampier won $20 million back in 1996. He divorced his wife, gave her half but later had an affair with her sister and was killed by her. And Ronnie Music Jr. won $3 million in the 2015 Georgia state lottery but spent most on crystal meth so it's gone. The point of this is to let you know, regardless of how much you win, make sure you invest so you don't go broke! It can happen very easily.

How do you choose which Mega Millions numbers you play? Is it a Quick Pick? Do you pick family member's birthdays? Regardless of your method, there are certain numbers that get drawn more than any others. We have broken it down for you so you don't have to think or do any work. Here are the Mega Millions numbers that have been drawn the most in history. According to USA Mega, which collects data for the past 599 drawings (dating back to 10/31/17), 14, 3, 10,17, and 46 are the five most popular. The most popular Megaball number is 22.

We have also listed the stores in Massachusetts that have sold the most jackpots over $1 million so you can decide where you want to buy those winning tickets. Just keep scrolling and good luck!

The Powerball jackpot is approximately $1 Billion for Wednesday night's jackpot. When the jackpots get this high, many people start to think about what they'd do with that much money. Many say they'd go on vacation, quit their job, buy a house and cars. There are also a larger pool of people who buy tickets because many say they don't buy them until the jackpot gets this high. Regardless, for those of us who live in Massachusetts, there are a certain number of stores that are considered more lucky than others.

Now, we aren't saying these particular stores will strike gold again. Although, if they sell winning tickets more than once, there has to be something to that right? What are the actual odds of one store selling super big jackpots multiple times? Either way, we did the research for you and figure if we can help you get a leg up on this next Powerball drawing, we will. And as always, we'll never ask you for a cut of your winnings (haha).

So before you decide which store you'd like to buy your Powerball ticket for Wednesday's drawing, why not sit and really think about what you'd do with a billion dollars. Would you take the lump sum? Would you take it over time? Which family members would you help out first? Would you tell people? Would you move FAR away? Would you quit your job? These are all questions we think about when pondering over gigantic jackpots like Wednesday night's Powerball drawing. Now that you've sorted it all out, keep scrolling because these are the stores in Massachusetts that have sold the biggest lottery jackpots. Best of luck to you and whether or not you're doing quick picks or just guessing, may the odds be in your favor.
