US Mega Millions: The Lottery That Keeps Getting Better

Like a nice bottle of red wine, US Mega Millions lottery just keeps getting better with age!

This popular US lottery has been putting smiles on the faces of winners for more than 20 years and doesn’t seem to be slowing down! It’s one of our favourite lotteries in the world, that’s why here at The Lottery Office we give you the chance to win from the draws of this famous international lottery twice a week.

The big game kicks off

When it began, US Mega Millions was originally called The Big Game. In 1996 this exciting lottery showed up in six US states, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Virginia.
The lottery proved to be so popular across the US that they soon added another draw, meaning this life-changing lottery had two draws a week! In 2002 The Big Game changed its name to US Mega Millions. By 2010 there were 33 states participating in the draw, eventually growing to the now 45 states and the District of Columbia and the US Virgin Islands.

Game changers

Over the years US Mega Millions has altered the game by adding second-tier prizes up to US$5 million. They have also changed the game matrix and changed the prize structure to enable jackpots to be bigger and come along faster. They’ve also given players better chances than ever before to win the second division prize of US$1 million.

It’s not called Mega Millions for nothing

US Mega Millions made history on 30 March 2012, with a prize pool never seen in the history of the lottery, US$656 million (or just over AUD$1 billion). Three lucky winners shared the jackpot.
