How much is the current Mega Millions lottery in Mass. worth?
Mega Millions is a multi-jurisdictional $1 lottery game in the United States. There are 12 members of Mega Millions, while 32 others (30 states, the District of Columbia, and the US Virgin Islands) offer Powerball, Mega Millions’ main competitor. There are some differences in playing Mega Millions among its jurisdictions (details below). Since May 2002, Mega Millions advertised jackpots have started at US $12 million paid over 26 years, increasing when there is no jackpot winner. Reflecting common practice among American lotteries, the jackpot is advertised as a nominal value of annual installments. A lump sum cash value option pays the approximate present value of the installments. Mega Millions is drawn every Tuesday and Friday, including all holidays.
