Mega Millions is a multi-state lottery played across 47 localities in North America with a starting jackpot of $20 million. The top prize rolls over when it is not won and has regularly exceeded $500 million since changes were made to the game in 2017. It has even topped $1 billion on multiple occasions.

Tickets cost $2 and to take part you are required to select five white numbers from a possible 70, followed by one red Mega Ball from a second pool of 25. The jackpot is won if any ticket matches the full set of numbers, while there are eight more prize tiers rewarding players who match fewer numbers.

An extra option for Mega Millions players in the majority of states is to add the Megaplier to their ticket for an extra $1 per play. The Megaplier provides a way to multiply the value of non-jackpot prizes by up to five times, so anyone who has added the option to their ticket will see their award increased if they have matched enough numbers.

Megaplier

A Megaplier number – 2x, 3x, 4x or 5x – will be drawn at random before the main draw takes place. If you have added the Megaplier to your ticket you will have your prize boosted by the value of that multiplier. It does not apply to the jackpot, but it boosts all other prizes, so if you match five numbers you could win up to $5 million. The following table shows the odds of each Megaplier being selected.

Mega Millions History

Mega Millions can trace its roots back to August 1996, when it was launched as The Big Game and tickets were sold across six states for its Friday night draws. The original game required players to select five numbers from a pool of 50, plus one additional number from a second pool of 25. Jackpots could be claimed only via the annuity option.

The increased popularity of the game led to an additional Tuesday draw being introduced in February 1998. In January 1999, the number matrix was changed to five from 50 and one from 36, combined with the option of a lump-sum payout for jackpot winners.

In May 2002 the game was rebranded as Mega Millions and the matrix changed again, in order to generate bigger jackpots by making it harder to win. Players were now required to match five from 52 plus one from 52 to win the jackpot.

The next matrix change occurred in June 2005, which was when California joined the game. Once again, both pools were changed to lengthen the odds against winning, which meant that players now needed to match five from 56 plus one from 46 to win the jackpot.

The format was altered again in October 2013 to help accelerate the build-up of prize money. The number of balls in the main pool increased to 75, while the Mega Ball pool decreased to just 15 numbers.

In October 2017, Mega Millions underwent several more changes in a bid to keep the game fresh. A reduction of the main ball pool to 70, combined with an increase of the Mega Ball pool to 25, left the odds of winning the jackpot longer than the odds of winning Powerball. However, the 2017 changes did shorten the overall odds of winning a prize.

The latest changes have helped to create the biggest Mega Millions jackpots of all time, including several payouts worth more than $1 billion.

Mississippi became the 48th locality in the US to offer Mega Millions. Tickets went on sale in the state on January 30th 2020.
