In the past 60 days, this particular game has yielded a total of three jackpots of over $1 million.
The slot machine-based game uses a progressive jackpot, which starts at $1 million. The more people play, the higher the jackpot becomes.
While winning over $2 million would be amazing, it pales in comparison to the $632.6 million powerball jackpot that was recently won.
Fox Business previously reported that two winning tickets were sold for the massive jackpot. One was sold in California and the other in Wisconsin.

Since more than one winning ticket was sold, the winners will have to split the prize. They can choose between an annuitized $316.3 million or take the cash option of $225.1 million. This particular Powerball was larger than average due to strong sales in the week leading up to the drawing.
