Megamillions Lottery Numbers
The Mega Millions lotto, previously called “The Big Game”, was launched in August 1996. The Megamillions lottery is renowned for paying out the biggest ever lottery jackpot in world history. A staggering $390 million USD jackpot was shared between two winning ticket holders in the summer of 2007.
Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan and Virginia were the first US states to sign up to the Mega Millions lottery with its single weekly draw. Such was the initial success of Mega Millions that a second weekly draw was added within two years.
Additional features were added to the Megamillions lottery in 1999 which included a greater range of numbers that players could choose from as well as a new “cash payout” option for winnings. In the same year New Jersey joined the other member states by also signing up to Mega Millions.
“The Big Game” was renamed “Mega Millions” in 2002 and this is the name it has held on to ever since. This year also saw further states joining the Megamillions lottery with the inclusion of Ohio and New York. By the end of 2005 Washington State, Texas and California all joined Mega Millions bringing the number of participating members states to twelve; this made the Megamillions lottery the most played multi-state lottery in the United States.
The reputation of Mega Millions was further enhanced during 2007 with a world record $390 million jackpot payout.
