Illinois Online Lottery Win Lands $536M Mega Millions Jackpot for 'Lucky Lady'

An Illinois woman using the iLottery platform won the first Mega Millions jackpot of 2026, a $536 million prize—the second-largest online lottery win ever. She’ll take home about $245.6 million after taxes and says she accidental-typed the win; she even had her daughter call a claim center to verify. With the money, she plans to buy a new family home with a pool and perhaps treat the family to a cruise or a Vegas trip.
