Mega Millions is a favorite lottery among U.S. players as it offers impressive jackpots that can sometimes go above $1 billion. The game is played across 45 states, as well as the District of Columbia and U.S. Virgin Islands.
Mega Millions was initially known as the Big Game and it was launched in August 1996. Its current name was only given in May 2002. California became the 12th participating state in the Mega Millions game in June 2005.
The Mega Millions jackpot has been won in the Golden State more than 30 times, making it one of the most successful states. Besides the impressive number of wins, California is a unique participating state as the extra Megaplier feature is not available to add to your tickets. Moreover, California pays out prizes on a pari-mutuel basis.
Mega Millions has two draws every week, on Tuesday and Friday evenings at 8:00 PM PT.
