The first Mega Millions draw took place back on May 17th 2002 originally 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 with many more to follow.
DE Mega Millions lottery tickets were first put on sale back on January 31st 2010 when the Multi State Lottery Association (MUSL) who run the Powerball – of which the Delaware 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.
The Delaware Mega Millions works in exactly the same way as the Mega Millions game works in all the other 45 States and Districts in the USA 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 Delaware from 2 separate drawing machines – firstly 5 numbers from 70 white balls are drawn and then 1 number (the MEGAball) from 25 gold balls is drawn.
