Arizona gets hot in the summer. So hot, in fact, that plastic recycle bins melt and you can bake cookies on your car’s dashboard. Despite this, summer is the most popular time of year tourists go to view one of the greatest natural wonders of the world.
Why this fixation on Arizona? Because on June 9, 2020, it was a single player from this sizzling hot state who took down the monstrous jackpot! Additionally, thirteen other players were able to get five of the six numbers, winning them a cool $1 million each.
Like Powerball, the Mega Millions jackpot resets to $20 million. Would you believe that this is currently the smallest of the Big Three jackpots?
