9. $699.8 million, Powerball, Oct. 4, 2021 Tuesday's estimated $1.1 billion Mega Millions drawing had people lined up at convenience stores nationwide to buy tickets in long-shot hopes of winning a massive prize, but shop and gas station owners selling the tickets also have a chance at a big-figure bonus.
State lotteries usually reward the owners of business that sell winning jackpot tickets thousands of dollars or even up to $1 million, even before those giant prizes are claimed.It seems no one can win the Mega Millions jackpot, so it keeps getting larger. The last time someone overcame the odds of 1 in 302.6 million and won the top prize was on Oct. 14. Since then there have been 24 straight drawings without anyone snagging the jackpot.

All that's clear is that a ticket matching all six numbers drawn Nov.
"I wish I knew the person but most people who buy tickets from me are from the neighborhood. I hope one of them will be the winner," he said.The rules vary from state to state. Ohio, for example, pays up to $100,000 to retailers who sell jackpot-winning tickets. In Illinois, retailers can get up to a $500,000 bonus and in California, that benefit tops out at $1 million. The state lotteries say it's part of their efforts to encourage retailers to promote ticket sales.
