A new ranking put out by OnlineCasinosAT, compiled a list of the luckiest Lottery states in the country, and of course, there's a few states that don't have lotteries - Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada, and Utah.

But for those of us that do, there are literally millions of dollars at stake with every scratch, Powerball, and MegaMillions ticket we buy. but it seems, if you're from Michigan, and reading this right now... you're in the right place.

The state of Michigan, according to this data collected, is the second-luckiest Lottery state in the country. We produce an average jackpot win of $18.31 million each year, totalling $2.23 billion across 122 Powerball winners since 1992.

That being said, the NUMBER of winners is actually quite low. Across the country, the average number of Powerball winners in each state is 344. That means you're actually less-likely to WIN in Michigan, but if you do, you'll for sure win big!

The number one state, though, is one of the most populous, and is home to some of the largest jackpots in the country - California. The winners are 324% more rich in their jackpots than the other states, and since 1992, they have won $9.92 billion. For reference, that's almost enough to give each resident of the state $244.

The full list of Luckiest Lottery states is as follows:

  1. California
  2. Michigan
  3. Washington
  4. Vermont
  5. New Jersey
  6. Maryland
  7. Massachusets
  8. New Hampshire
  9. Ohio
  10. Tennessee

So there you have it, if you're looking for big jackpots, Michigan is the place to be. Just keep at it.
