What Is MegaMillions?

MegaMillions is a massive record-breaking American lottery encompassing the majority of US states. Until quite recently it was the lottery jackpot world record holder, however it was knocked off the top spot in spectacular fashion when rival multi-state lottery, US Powerball, grew to over US$1.5 billion, or approximately $2 billion, in January 2016 to become the biggest lottery jackpot of all time.

This option costs just $1.50 extra, considerably increasing your chances of a big win!

An All-American Record Breaker

January's massive US Powerball win didn't appear to be anything out of the ordinary at the beginning of January 2016. Well, not out of the ordinary for an American jackpot at any rate.

Before that MegaMillions held the title and, with that epic US$656 million jackpot dating back to March 2012. Once again the jackpot grew in size at an astonishing rate, more than doubling in size in the space of a week, and again the jackpot, worth approximately $868 million, was shared by three American winners.

We certainly think so. So all the more reason to get in on the action NOW! Your next chance to grab it is tomorrow, so don't miss out, realise your American Dream with an incredible MegaMillions jackpot!
