If you win the jackpot, Mega Millions has two options to collect it: the first is in cash, making a single payment of the total amount obtained in your drawing; The second is through an annuity, it delivers one payment followed by annual payments for 29 years, each payment is 5% greater than the previous one.

Mega Millions started on August 31, 1996 with the name of the “Big Game.” The first draw was held on September 6, 1996 and only six states participated.

At first, draws were only held on Fridays; it was not until 1998 that they also began to be held on Tuesdays. The following year, New Jersey became the seventh member state, followed by Ohio, Washington, New York, and California.

In 2002, the game changed its name from the Big Game to Mega Millions and in 2010 all 45 states of the United States were part of the drawing, as well as the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands.

On March 30, 2012, Mega Millions made history with the world’s largest prize in any game up to that date: $656 million. The jackpot was divided into three parts.

That lottery industry record stood for nearly four years until it was eclipsed, first, by a $1.586 billion Powerball jackpot in January 2016 and then on November 8, 2022 when Powerball itself delivered 2 thousand 40 million dollars.

Mega Millions joined the billion-dollar club on October 23, 2018.
