THE MEGA MILLIONS LOTTERY (MEGAMILLIONS)

History Of The Mega Millions Lottery:

The second giant multi-State lottery offered by PlayEuromillions.com, Mega Millions, held the record for the largest draw in the world for 3 years before Powerball overtook it. At the time that it set a world record in 2012, the jackpot was a staggering $656 million. 3 lucky ticket holders shared this massive jackpot. As with USA Powerball, Mega Millions jackpot winners have the choice of a lump sum cash payment or an annuity payment over several years. 5 lucky numbers and 1 Mega ball will get you started on the road to unbelievable riches.

How To Play The Mega Millions Lottery:

The Mega Millions lottery makes use of two separate ball sets where lottery players pick 5 numbers from 1 to 70 (these are known as the ‘white balls') and a further 1 number from 1 to 25 (the gold coloured ‘Mega’ ball). Owing to the fact that the Mega ball is drawn from a separate ball set, it is possible that it can be a duplicate of one of the drawn white balls which makes it even more exciting.

In order to win the jackpot, players need to match all 6 drawn lottery numbers.
