The odds of you having to share with another person that also picked the same numbers is really low. Mega Millions started in 2002. In 20 years of Mega Millions existence there has been 202 jackpots won and 227 winning tickets. Only 20 shared jackpots in 20 years.

Ticket sales grow super linearly with the size of the jackpots. The more tickets sold the more likely a tie. What is average size of the jackpot that is shared? I bet it is considerably more than the average jackpot won.
