Southern California has already had two billion-dollar jackpot winners this year. The first was a $1.08 billion jackpot. The winning ticket was sold at a market in downtown Los Angeles. It's the fourth-biggest lottery jackpot of all time. Months later, in October, a $1.76 billion ticket was sold at a liquor store in Frazier Park in Kern County. That was the second-largest jackpot in history.
