The Big Game or the
Mega Millions Lottery as most people
know it, was introduced on August 31st 1996 and this lotto
game is credited as having the largest jackpot payout in
North American history. The total lottery jackpot payout was
a whooping $390 million and was collected by two very lucky
ticket holders on June 3rd 2007.
Six US states took part in its first draw on September 6th
1996 and these were Maryland, Massachusetts, Georgia,
Illinois, Virginia and Michigan.
The
Mega Millions lotto game was an initial success
with rapid growth after its launch and as a result another
weekly Tuesday draw was introduced on February 1998. A
number of new features were also added to this lotto in
January 1999 and they included a bigger selection of numbers
and a cash payout option as well. Also, in that year a
seventh member state was added and that was New Jersey.
In 2002 The Big Game was renamed and this saw the birth of
The Mega Millions as it's now known; with an additional two
member states of New York and Ohio. Added to all this for
the purpose of increasing player excitement was the game
matrix and the altering of prize amounts.
September 2002 saw Washington join then followed by Texas in
December 2003 and then as mentioned above on March 6th 2007
the
Mega Millions made lottery history when $390
million was paid out making the MegaMillions the largest
lump sum lottery in the world.

played multi-state lottery game in the US
