Arizona Mega Millions
The Arizona Lottery is 1 of 46 US State Lotteries & District Lotteries that offer the Mega Millions game – in this case the Arizona Mega Millions – as part of its overall portfolio of lottery games.
Mega Millions is a Multi-State USA Lottery run by the Mega Millions Consortium – who administer and syndicate the game right across the USA and is one of the largest lottery games in the world – having produced a massive world record jackpot of an incredible US$ 656 MILLION in March 2012. This huge amount was shared between 3 Mega Millions winning tickets from Illinois, Kansas and Maryland and currently stands as the 2nd biggest jackpot ever won in the history of jackpot lotto games anywhere around the world.
The very first Mega Millions draw took place on May 17th 2002 with 6 USA Lottery companies taking part who were all members of the Mega Millions Consortium.
The game had changed its name and format from the Big Game which had first started back on August 31st 1996. Upon this change – 2 further State Lotteries joined and more would follow.
The AZ Mega Millions was first sold on April 18th 2010 when the Multi State Lottery Association (MUSL) who run the Powerball game – of which the Arizona Lottery is a member – entered into a cross-selling agreement with the Mega Millions consortium – allowing the sales of Mega Millions in Powerball states and Powerball in Mega Millions states.
AZ Mega Millions – How It Works
The Arizona Mega Millions works in exactly the same way as the Mega Millions game works in all the States and Districts in the US that offer the game.
Jackpots start off at US$ 40 MILLION and ROLLOVER after each draw when the top prize is not won – making for some enormous jackpot figures.
6 numbers are drawn in total for the MegaMillions Arizona from 2 separate drawing machines – firstly 5 numbers from 70 white balls are drawn and then 1 number (the MEGAball) from 25 gold balls.
Draws for the AZ Mega Millions take place twice every week on Tuesdays and Fridays at 9.00pm MST (11.00pm EST).
In addition to the 6 Mega Millions numbers drawn – a further number is drawn – using a Random Number Generator…the Mega Millions MEGAPLIER number…
MEGAPLIER…
This separate MEGAPLIER prize multiplier number drawn will be either 2, 3, 4 or 5 – and is there to give players of the Arizona Mega Millions a chance to increase their winnings on all levels of the prize structure apart from the Mega Millions Arizona jackpot itself.
With MEGAPLIER – you are able to multiply your winnings on these levels by 2x, 3x, 4x or 5x – greatly increasing the amount you can walk away with.
If a player matches the 5 main Mega Millions numbers playing with the MEGAPLIER add-on – and a MEGAPLIER number of 5 is drawn – the second tier prize of US$ 1 MILLION would be multiplied by 5 and they would win US$ 5 MILLION.
AZ Mega Millions – How to Play
The aim when you are playing is to correctly select as many of the Mega Millions winning prize numbers as possible – and with a total of 9 different ways in which you can win on the Mega Millions Arizona – you have a great chance of winning a prize.
There are 4 main ways you can play the AZ Mega Millions…
1. Pick 5 of your own main (white ball) numbers from 1 to 70 plus your 1 Mega Ball (gold ball) number from 1 to 25.
2. Pick 5 of your own main (white ball) numbers from 1 to 70 and use the Quick Pick option to let the computer choose your Mega Ball (gold ball) number for you from 1 to 25 – using a lottery number generator / random number generator.
3. Use the Quick Pick option to let the computer pick your 5 main (white ball) numbers from 1 to 70 using a random number generator – and then pick your own Mega Ball (gold ball) number from 1 to 25.
