"The NH Mega Millions – Twice a week from the New Hampshire Lottery"
Current Jackpot $ 99,000,000
The New Hampshire Lottery is 1 of 46 US State Lotteries & District Lotteries that offer the huge Mega Millions game – in this case the NH 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 an astonishing world record jackpot of a huge US$ 656 MILLION in March 2012. This massive amount was shared between 3 winning Mega Millions tickets from Illinois, Kansas and Maryland and is the 2nd biggest ever jackpot won in the history of world 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.
Tickets for the New Hampshire Mega Millions were first sold on January 31st 2010 when the Multi State Lottery Association (MUSL) who run the Powerball game – of which the NH Lottery is a member – entered into a cross-selling agreement with the Mega Millions consortium – thus allowing the sales of Mega Millions in Powerball states and Powerball in Mega Millions states.
The NH 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 New Hampshire 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 NH Mega Millions take place twice every week on Tuesdays and Fridays at 11.00pm EST.
In addition to the main 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 New Hampshire MegaMillions a chance to increase their winnings on all levels of the prize structure apart from the NH MegaMillions jackpot itself.
With MEGAPLIER – 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 x5 and they could win US$ 5 MILLION.
The aim when you are playing is to correctly select as many of the Mega Millions winning prize numbers as possible – and with up to 9 different ways in which you can win on the New Hampshire Mega Millions – you have a great chance of winning a prize.
There are generally 4 ways you can play the NH Mega Millions…
