Biggest lottery jackpots in U.S. history

The latest Powerball jackpot is one for the record books.

A winning ticket for the $758.7 million grand prize was sold in Massachusetts, lottery officials said. It's the largest ever jackpot with a single U.S. winner -- and the second biggest overall jackpot in U.S. history.

Here's where the list of the largest U.S. lottery prizes stands now.

1. $1.6 billion Powerball

January 13, 2016: The record-shattering jackpot was split three ways by Mae and Marvin Acosta from Chino Hills, California; John and Lisa Robinson of Munford, Tennessee; and Maureen Smith, a 70-year-old from Melbourne Beach, Florida.

The Robinsons appeared on NBC's "Today" show before cashing their ticket in. They opted to take their $528.8 million share of the prize in one lump-sum payment of $327.8 million. (Jackpot prize amounts are the annuity jackpots paid out over 30 payments, even though almost all winners chose to take a lesser lump sum of cash).

Smith told the Florida Lottery that she had played the lottery -- and bought tickets with the same six numbers -- for years before winning the jackpot.
