US Mega Millions: The Lowdown on World-Beating Lottery
The Mega Millions has a long history of handing over payouts bigger than Texas.
When it started out as ‘The Big Game’ way back in 1996, it was only available in a handful of US states.
These days it’s available in 46 jurisdictions and is a firm favourite amongst lottery players. Given that it has a starting jackpot of AUD$54 Million, it’s not hard to see why!
Mega Millions and Mega Billions
Along with US Powerball, the Mega Millions is a record breaker.
It holds the world record for the largest lottery prize won on a single ticket, at AUD$2.1 Billion!
That’s a lot of zeroes, and they all went to one person, who is now living in a solid gold castle (probably).
On top of this, the 10 highest Mega Millions jackpots have a mind-boggling average of AUD$870 Million per jackpot.
Second Prizes up to AUD$6.5 Million
The Mega Millions offers a minimum second division prize of AUD$1.3 Million. However, if you choose the Multiplier option, this can be upped to AUD$6.5 Million!
In fact, the Multiplier option can multiply all non-jackpot prizes by up to 5 times!
