The largest all-time biggest lottery prize in North America was was worth almost $1.6 billion in Powerball for three tickets – sold in California, Tennessee and Florida in January.

Last year, officials at the Multi-State Lottery Association, a group of state lotteries that oversees Powerball, changed the odds of winning from 1 in 175 million to 1 in 292.2 million.

Tickets are sold in 44 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. One player matched all the numbers to win the jackpot of $478 million. It was the nation’s eighth-biggest lottery jackpot. They were sold in California, Florida, Georgia, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Washington and West Virginia. But players have much better odds, of about 1 in 25, of winning smaller prizes ranging from $4 to $1 million.

The lump sum option is worth $330.6 million.
