Fun Facts

• The store that sold Washington’s first Mega Millions jackpot-winning ticket, Swanson’s Market, reports customers often drive an hour out of their way to buy tickets at Swanson’s because they believe it is a lucky store.
• Those first jackpot winners, Pat and Dick Warren, have donated heavily to charities after winning $93 million with Mega Millions.
• Washington’s second jackpot winners were from Laos and the wife was raised in an orphanage and later adopted in the US. They intended to use a portion of their winnings to return to Laos to search for the wife’s parents.
