Your chances of winning a major jackpot are close to zero. But it is a little more likely in certain states.

New data from No Deposit Rewards shows which states have the most major jackpot winners. It tallied people who won big, not $20 on a scratch-off.

The data found that some states, like West Virginia, Nebraska, Delaware, Alaska, and Vermont, had no major jackpot winners in the past decade. But others had north of 20.

Check out which states between 2013 and 2023 had the most big winners.
