What is the Mega Millions Lottery?

For the last twenty years, the Mega Millions lottery has allowed lottery players from all corners of the globe the chance to change their lives for the better in the literal blink of an eye. Many millions of players who chose to buy Mega Millions tickets online are very happy they took that chance.

The American Mega Millions lottery was launched as a multi-state lottery in August 1996 and was called ‘The Big Game’ and only had six US states that participated at that time which included Virginia, Michigan, Massachusetts, Maryland, Illinois and Georgia. The first draw took place on the 6th of September 1996 and at that time the draws took place only once a week on a Friday night.

The Tuesday draw was added in February 1998 and the following year in 1999, the Mega Millions lotto players were given a wider choice of numbers to select from which included the choice of the new cash lump sum payout option.

The lottery was renamed in May 2002 as the Mega Millions jackpot and has often been updated and improved to modernise its game format which makes buying Mega Millions tickets even better than previously.

The Mega Millions lotto has paid out historically huge record jackpots which includes its biggest ever $1.537 billion jackpot in October 2018 and its recent $1.05 billion jackpot in January 2021. If you want to play Mega Millions lottery, buy Mega Millions tickets online from PlayHugeLottos.com.

The Mega Millions Lottery Jackpot Pay-out Options

Winners of the Mega Millions jackpot have two options to claim their prize by either opting for winnings to be paid out either by the lump sum option or the annuity payout option.

If you opt for the lump sum payout option you get instant access to your winnings but you only receive about 60% of the Mega Millions jackpot.

If you opt for your Mega Millions jackpot payout via the annuity payout option, you will receive your first payment straight away with the balance paid out each year in instalments which can take up to thirty years to receive all of your money. Each annuity payment earns you 4% which will make the last payment the biggest. The payout from the annuity option is calculated from the size of the Mega Millions jackpot prize total.

When you play Mega Millions lottery, there is no cap or limit on rollovers and the Mega Millions jackpot will continue to roll until it has been won. This often allows the Mega Millions lotto jackpot prizes to reach hundreds of millions of dollars in prize money. If more than one person wins the Mega Millions jackpot, the prize money will be split evenly amongst all winners.
