US Lottery Winners Celebrate Big Wins

Recently, multiple lottery winners across the United States have claimed substantial prizes. In New York, three jackpot-winning tickets worth over $11,000 each were sold, including two in New York City. New Jersey saw five lottery players winning at least $10,000 each in Powerball and Mega Millions, with the top prize being $1 million. Additionally, Mississippi had two winners in Brookhaven, each claiming $1,000 from scratch-off tickets. National Lottery Day on July 17 highlights the evolution of lotteries from funding historical projects to offering multi-billion dollar jackpots, like Edwin Castro's $2.04 billion Powerball win in 2022. The New York Lottery continues to support education with significant contributions.
