The MEGA Millions jackpot hit its record high in 2012.
MEGA Millions is a draw game available through 46 lotteries nationwide and known for its big jackpots.
Visit www.megamillions.com to learn more about MEGA Millions and participating lotteries.
The jackpot prize for MEGA Millions is the same for all the states. However, in California all other prizes are pari-mutuel, meaning payouts are based on sales and the number of winners.
Prizes over $599 are subject to taxes and other offsets required by law. However, there are no California state/local taxes
Yes, MEGA Millions prizes can be shared as long as the group consists of 100 winners or less.
Start a Lottery pool »
You have up to one year from the date of the draw to claim the jackpot prize. For all other MEGA Millions prizes, you have 180 days to claim your prize.
The overall odds of winning any prize in MEGA Millions is about 1 in 15 and the odds of winning the jackpot is about 1 in 259 million.
If a jackpot prize is not claimed within the required time limit, each of the participating states in the MEGA Millions game will get back all the money they contributed to that jackpot. Each state in the game uses unclaimed prizes for different purposes. In California unclaimed MEGA Millions jackpot prize funds are distributed to public education.
