Congratulations to all of the Lottery winners. No matter how big or small, it’s still a blessing to just win something. Even though I’m envious, I get so excited when someone goes to the store and spends a little but wins millions or even billions. Im no stranger to buying lottery tickets. I frequently buy them from the Publix right here in Fort Myers.

My mom would ask me, “what games do you like to play?” I like to play the scratch off tickets. I also will buy a Mega Millions or Powerball ticket when the jackpot gets high. There has been a list created of the 10 Biggest U.S. Lottery Jackpots, and one of the tickets was sold right here in Florida. All of the people who won these jackpots have made history! Below is the list of states where the Top 5 Lottery Jackpot winning tickets were sold.

California

This is the Largest Lottery Jackpot to date. It was a Powerball ticket that was sold in November of 2022. The city it was purchased in was Altadena! The ticket was worth $2.04B. According to Lottery officials, the ticket holder was the first lottery billionaire in the state of California.

Florida

This was the second biggest Jackpot and it was split in three ways. This Powerball prize was $1.586B. It was sold in 2016 and there were three matching tickets. The Melbourne Beach resident who won in Florida also had to split the prize with a California and Tennessee resident. Still not a bad deal though. With a three way split they would each get $528M.

South Carolina

This was the third largest jackpot and it was a Mega Millions Prize worth $1.54B. The ticket was drawn in October of 2018. The winner is from South Carolina but did not come forward until a year later. They chose to take their winnings in a one-time lump sum of $877,784,124 .

Maine

A person in Maine won the 4th largest Jackpot in U.S. history. The jackpot was estimated at $1.35 billion dollars. The drawing was on Jan 13th of this year and it was sold in Lebanon, Maine.

Illinois

One lucky person in Illinois bought the winning Mega Millions ticket in July of 2022. They came forward after several weeks but their identity is unknown. They purchased the 5th largest jackpot prize totaling $1.337B.

Todos los conciertos que vienen a Hertz Arena en Estero este año

Hertz Arena tiene algunos grandes nombres rodando este año. Por supuesto, se agregarán más espectáculos, pero lo que tienen en el calendario hasta ahora es impresionante. Nuestro pequeño pueblo de Estero está creciendo, aparentemente desde que los nuevos propietarios se hicieron cargo en los últimos años.

Hemos visto una buena cantidad de artistas venir a la ciudad. Personalmente, recuerdo haber visto a Tom Petty, New Kids On The Block, Luke Bryan, Salt N Peppa, Miranda Lambert, Vanilla Ice y muchos más, desde el country hasta el rock. 2023 se perfila como uno de los mejores años hasta ahora, especialmente para los fanáticos españoles y del país. Pit Bull estuvo en la ciudad la semana pasada y tocó para una multitud que agotó las entradas. ¡Que show!

Entonces, ¿qué artistas tenemos que esperar en el Hertz Arena este año? Consulte la lista a continuación para obtener una lista completa a partir de hoy y haga sus planes. Algunos de estos artistas están a lo grande en este momento y seguramente será difícil conseguir entradas a medida que se acerquen los espectáculos.
