Wisconsin Lottery Mega Millions
The Wisconsin Lottery – or WI Lottery – is 1 of 46 US State & District Lotteries that offer the massive Mega Millions game – in this particular case the Wisconsin Mega Millions – as part of its overall portfolio of lottery games.
The Mega Millions is a Multi-State USA Lottery game that is run and operated by the Mega Millions Consortium – who administer and syndicate the game across the USA and is one of the largest lottery games in the world – having produced a massive world record jackpot of US$ 656 MILLION in March 2012. This huge amount was shared between 3 winning Mega Millions tickets from Illinois, Kansas and Maryland and currently stands as the 2nd biggest jackpot ever won to date in the history of jackpot lottery games 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 Lottery companies joined and more would follow.
The WI Mega Millions was first sold on January 31st 2010 when the Multi State Lottery Association (MUSL) who run the Powerball game – of which the WI Lottery became the 8th member of on August 10th 1989 – 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.
WI Mega Millions – How it Works
The Wisconsin Mega Millions operates 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 Mega Millions Indiana from 2 separate drawing machines – firstly 5 numbers from 70 white balls are drawn and then 1 number (the MEGAball) from 25 gold balls (MEGAballs) are drawn.
Draws for the Wisconsin Lottery Mega Millions take place twice every week on Tuesdays and Fridays at 10.00pm CST.
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 Mega Millions WI a chance to increase their winnings on all levels of the prize structure apart from the Mega Millions WI 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.
