In 2005, the first year California joined MEGA Millions, one ticket hit and a lucky Golden State resident won more than $300 million.

The tickets matched the numbers 43, 51, 53, 29, and 28, missing only the Mega number of 7.

Winners have 180 days from the date of the draw to claim prizes.

MEGA Millions is a multistate game, played in California and 43 other jurisdictions (41 states plus the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands).
