This massive amount was shared between 3 winning Mega Millions tickets from Illinois, Kansas and Maryland and currently ranks as the 2nd biggest jackpot ever won in the history of jackpot lotto games 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.
The Mega Millions Indiana was first sold on January 31st 2010 when the Multi State Lottery Association (MUSL) who run the Powerball game – of which the Hoosier 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 Mega Millions Indiana 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 Indiana 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.
