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 this nation I see tens of millions of its citizens, a substantial part of its whole population, who at this very moment are denied the greater part of what the very lowest standards of today call the necessities of life. I see one third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nourished. The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much, it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
