West Virginia is no stranger to big jackpots

Tonight’s Mega Millions jackpot is estimated at one-point-six-billion dollars, and West Virginia is no stranger to big jackpots. In 2002, Jack Whittaker won West Virginia’s largest Powerball prize, at over 300-million-dollars, and in 2008 eight Monongalia County Tax office employees won over 275-million. The odds of winning tonight are one in 302-million.
