Christmas Eve Powerball win in Arkansas nearly broke the record of Edwin Castro of California, who won $2.04 billion Powerball in November 2022.

Powerball, Mega Millions and Florida Lotto get the headlines, but scratch-off games are quietly making millionaires and almost-millionaires.

Mega Millions jackpot remains unclaimed, rising to an estimated $100 million. Smaller wins were reported in the Texas Lottery's Pick 3 and Pick 4 games, with detailed results available online.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — A modest jackpot compared to Powerball’s record-maker, lottery players can still change their stars with Mega Million’s $100 million grand prize. Totaling out to a comfortable $45.5 million cash option, Mega Millions players can grab a ticket for Tuesday night, just ahead of Christmas Eve.
