Montana Lottery - Mega Millions (multi-lottery Game)

Mega Millions (multi-lottery Game)

On September 6, 1996, six lotteries began the-then The Big Game; it became Mega Millions in May 2002. Its jackpots begin at $12 million. Mega Millions draws 5 white balls numbered 1 through 56, and 1 yellow Mega Ball numbered 1 through 46.

Most lotteries with either Mega Millions or Powerball prior to January 31, 2010 added the other game on that date. The Montana Lottery added Mega Millions on March 1, 2010, becoming the first lottery to add the "other" game after the official cross-selling expansion about a month prior. Unlike most of the 12 Mega Millions members that had the game before the cross-selling expansion, Montana offers Mega Millions' multiplier, called Megaplier, which is similar (but not identical) to PowerPlay.

Famous quotes containing the word millions:

    It is no part of the functions of the National Government to find employment for the people, and if we were to appropriate a hundred millions for his purpose, we should only be taxing 40 millions of people to keep a few thousand employed.
    James A. Garfield (1831–1881)
