PA Mega Millions – Pennsylvania Mega Millions
The Pennsylvania Lottery is 1 of 46 US State & District Lotteries that offer the huge Mega Millions game – in this case the PA Mega Millions – as part of its overall portfolio of lottery games.
The Mega Millions is a Multi-State USA Lottery that is run and operated by the Mega Millions Consortium – who syndicate the game right across the United States of America and is one of the largest lottery games in the world – having produced a massive world record jackpot of an astonishing US$ 656 MILLION in March 2012. This incredible amount was shared between 3 Mega Millions winning tickets from Illinois, Kansas and Maryland and stands as the 2nd biggest jackpot ever won in the history of world jackpot lottery games.
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 Lottery companies joined and more would follow.
Tickets for the Pennsylvania Mega Millions were first sold back on January 31st 2010 when the Multi State Lottery Association (MUSL) who run the Powerball game – of which the PA 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.
PA Lottery Mega Millions – How it Works
The PA Lottery Mega Millions works in 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 PA Lottery Mega Millions from 2 separate drawing machines – firstly 5 numbers are drawn from 70 white balls and then 1 number (the MEGAball) is drawn from 25 gold balls.
Draws for the Pennsylvania Lottery Mega Millions take place twice every week on Tuesdays and Fridays at 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 PA Lottery Mega Millions a chance to increase their winnings on all levels of the prize structure apart from the Pennsylvania Mega Millions 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 x5 and they would win US$ 5 MILLION.
