This year the USA Powerball has made hundreds of millionaires, producing some of the most thrilling jackpot prizes in North America.

In addition to the excitement surrounding these enormous payouts, the world has been reading all about the lotto fans who won them.

One of this year’s biggest prizes was the $254 million prize that was won by three wealth managers from Connecticut last month (November).

Gregg Skidmore, Tim Davidson and Brandon Lacoff founded the Putnam Avenue Family Trust – named after the street they all work on – which is where the after-tax lump sum will be held so they can access the money for themselves and their charitable efforts.

Another massive prize was scooped by a Tom and Kathleen Morris – a Minneapolis couple – who landed a $228.9 million fortune in August and stated they would use their fortune to retire early.

In September, a Maryland couple from Abingdon won $108 million, which was a fantastic coup for the state, as the pair were its first ever USA Powerball jackpot winners.

Finally, in April, William Swanson of Merrillville in Indiana won $74 million and revealed he would spend his riches on his mother and would treat himself to a new house and a Cadillac.
