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:
“In the two centuries that have passed since 1776, millions upon millions of Americans have worked and taken up arms, when necessary, to make [the American] dream a reality. We can be proud of what they have accomplished. Today, we are the world’s oldest republic. We are at peace. Our nation and our way of life endure. And we are free.”
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
