About the Mega Millions Lottery
Mega Millions is the monster of multi-state lotteries and while it's primarily popular in the U.S, lotto fans all around the world can play it. The Mega Millions lottery was originally called The Big Game, but was rebranded in May 2002 by its organizers, the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL). The very first drawing of The Big Game was on September 6, 1996 with six states (Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Massachusetts and Virginia) taking part.

Since then, a further 35 state lotteries have joined Mega Millions to increase the number of states participating to 41. An example that shows how popular the multi-state lottery has become came on March 6, 2007, when the Mega Millions jackpot reached $390 million. On this day, 10,500 tickets were sold every minute in the state of Virginia alone.

Any player that might be lucky enough to have Mega Millions winning numbers will be rewarded with a guaranteed jackpot of at least $12 million, with jackpots often increasing to hundreds of millions of dollars. Players buying Mega Millions lottery tickets shouldn't worry, as the jackpots very rarely stay at the $12 million minimum.

In fact, plenty of Mega Millions winners have been the lucky recipients of hundreds of millions of dollars, with more than ten jackpots reaching $250 million and more.
