$1.337 billion. Mega Millions, July 2022
An Illinois ticket, two winners, and a wait of nearly two months.
$780.5mCash option, split between two people.
Sold at a Speedway in Des Plaines, Illinois. Two people came forward together in September, having bought the ticket jointly, and took the cash split down the middle.
They claimed anonymously. Illinois allows it if the winner requests it in writing, and the state released almost nothing beyond the fact that there were two of them.
