The evolution of US Mega Millions
With payouts as big as their burgers, the US Mega Millions lottery wasn’t called ‘The Big Game’ for nothing!
Mega Millions launched back in August 1996, and since its initial conception this international lottery has grown from strength to strength.
It just kept growing and growing. In 1998 an extra Tuesday draw was added and in 2002 the rules were altered making it even more popular!
If you’re looking for huge jackpots and impressive prize pools, look no further than US Mega Millions, with the biggest winner walking away with a mind-blowing AUD$2.1 billion! Can you imagine winning this amount of money?
In the beginning Mega Millions only stretched across 6 states, but after a joining with US Powerball it started selling tickets across the United States.
In 2017 US Mega Millions made a move to increase its popularity, changing the guess range matrix, the size of the division one jackpot and the 2nd division prize and the odds of winning.
