Mega Millions will raffle jackpot of $1.25 billion
$6,000 Welcome Bonus
Mega Millions players will have the opportunity to compete for an estimated jackpot of $1.25 billion, which is growing even more after months without a lottery grand prize winner.
It’s been 30 draws in a row since someone last won the game’s jackpot on April 18th.
This allowed the prize pool to steadily grow to become the sixth largest of all time in the US.
The jackpot is so hard to win because of the 1 in 302.6 million odds of matching the numbers on the five white balls and a separate mega ball.
The odds are better to win smaller prizes, which start at $2.
How does Mega Millions work?
Although it is known as the American version of the “Mega-Sena“, its dynamic differs from that practiced in Brazil.
When purchasing a ticket, participants must select five numbers from 1 to 70, plus a sixth number, called the Mega Ball, from 1 to 25.
The player needs to match the initial five numbers. If you do not match the additional number, known as the Mega Ball, you will not be entitled to the main prize.
The winner has the option to choose how they want to receive the prize, with two alternatives available: receive a single payment, however, with a smaller amount compared to the total amount of the prize; or receive a fixed monthly amount over 29 years.
With the current prize of more than 1 billion dollars, if the winner chooses to receive the amount at once, he will be entitled to receive approximately 700 million dollars.
How to play the American lottery?
It is possible to play Mega Millions through TheLotter, which offers online lottery sales services and has agents in the United States who purchase official tickets on behalf of customers around the world.
