Maine State Mega Millions
The Maine State Lottery is 1 of 46 US State & District Lotteries that offer the huge Mega Millions game – in this case the Maine 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 administer and syndicate the game across the USA and is one of the largest lottery games in the world – having produced a world record jackpot in March 2012 of an incredible US$ 656 MILLION. This incredible amount was shared between 3 Mega Millions winning tickets from Illinois, Kansas and Maryland and currently stands as the 2nd biggest jackpot ever to be won on a jackpot lottery game anywhere in 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.
Maine Mega Millions tickets were first sold on May 9th 2010 when the Multi State Lottery Association (MUSL) who run the Powerball game – of which the Maine State 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.
ME Mega Millions – How it Works...
The ME Mega Millions works 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 ME Mega Millions from 2 separate drawing machines – firstly 5 numbers from 70 white balls are drawn and then 1 number (the MEGAball) from 25 gold balls.
Draws for the Maine 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 ME Mega Millions a chance to increase their winnings on all levels of the prize structure apart from the Maine Mega Millions Lottery jackpot itself.
With – 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 5 and they could win US$ 5 MILLION.
