Current Jackpot $ 99,000,000
The North Dakota Lottery is 1 of 46 US State & District Lotteries that offer the Mega Millions game – in this case the North Dakota Mega Millions – as part of its overall portfolio of lottery games.
Mega Millions is a huge Multi-State USA Lottery that is operated and run 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 massive world record jackpot of an incredible US$ 656 MILLION in March 2012. This amazing amount was shared between 3 winning Mega Millions tickets from Illinois, Kansas and Maryland and is currently the 2nd biggest jackpot ever won in the history of jackpot lottery games.
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.
Lottery tickets for the North Dakota Mega Millions were first sold on January 31st 2010 when the Multi State Lottery Association (MUSL) who run the Powerball game – of which the ND 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 North Dakota Mega Millions lottery works in precisely the same way that 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 North Dakota Lottery Mega Millions from 2 separate drawing machines – firstly 5 numbers from 70 white balls are drawn and then 1 number (the MEGAball) is drawn from 25 gold balls.
Draws for the North Dakota Mega Millions Lottery take place twice every week on Tuesdays and Fridays at 10.00pm CST (9.00pm MST).
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…
