The Biggest Ever MegaMillions Jackpot
The current Mega Millions is already going into the history books as nont only the biggest Mega Millions jackpot of all time, but the biggest lottery jackpot ever! Powerballs reign as the lottery jackpot record-holder has finally come to an end.
The lottery that we know as Mega Millions began life as ‘The Big Game’ back in 1996. Becoming Mega Millions in 2002 it was initially available in 6 US states, up to 44 states today. And of course, thanks to Lottoland you can take part in the Mega Millions lottery no matter where in the world you live.
How to Bet on Mega Millions
The format of the Mega Millions lottery is pretty easy to understand. Simply select five numbers from between 1 and 70, and one more ‘Megaball’ number from between 1 and 25. If all five regular numbers and the Megaball match those drawn on Tuesday and Fridays in Atlanta at 11pm ET (3pm NZST Wed & Sat) then you take home the enormous top prize. Besides that massive jackpot prize, there are eight further prize tiers offering further chances to win.
At Lottoland you can play online and buy your lines in seconds. Just go to the MegaMillions home page, select your numbers and click Submit. Plus, if you want to check the Participation box you will automatically be entered in all draws that have jackpots higher than the amount you select.
Our unique insurance model means that we can pay out the largest jackpot wins, even record-breaking MegaMillions jackpots!
Record Breaker
The previous record for the Mega Millions lottery stood at USD$656 million (with a cash value of USD$462 million) and held that record since 2012. Now the current MegaMillions jackpot stands at USD$1.6 billion (NZD$2.4 billion), and it has now overtaken Powerball as the biggest lottery jackpot in history! The previous record was the incredible USD$1,586.4 billion from Powerball in January 2016, but that long-standing record has finally been broken. The second highest jackpot was also held by Powerball until now, the sum of USD$758 million being hit in August 2017 to make Ms Mavis Wanczyk from Massachusetts the biggest ever single ticket lottery winner.
Of course, that is another record that can be broken if there is just one winner of the current MegaMillions jackpot.
If you want to be a record-breaker yourself then head over to Lottoland’s MegaMillions page to take a crack at this monster jackpot. With a jackpot this big, you just have to bet!
