Description:
Mega Millions was
originally called the “Big Game,” becoming the “Big Game Mega
Millions” in 1996 and offered in various states around America such
as Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, and
Virginia. The lottery's additional number underwent a name change in
the same year, leaving behind its original name, “Gold Ball, ” in
favor of "Mega Ball."
At the outset, the Mega
Millions only offered players the ability to play 5 out of 56
numbers, with an additional Mega Ball selected from a guess range of
1-46. In 2003,
The
lottery’s record jackpot of $656 million reached the massive sum
thanks to additional funds flooding into the prize pool as ticket
sales in the 44 participating states shot up dramatically. The
lottery rolled over when a $363 Mega Millions jackpot prize went
unclaimed, and jumped to $476 million, $500 million, $540 million,
$640 million, and finally $656 million within just four days! The
Mega Millions jackpot was claimed by three lucky ticket holders on
the 30th March 2012, after the lottery’s results were published and
the millions of tickets that had been purchased were checked.
