"The VT Mega Millions – Twice every week from Vermont Lottery"
Current Jackpot $ 99,000,000
The Vermont Lottery is 1 of 46 US State & District Lotteries that offer the huge Mega Millions game – in this case the Vermont Mega Millions lottery – as part of its overall portfolio of lottery games.
The Mega Millions is a Multi-State USA Lottery that is run and organized by the Mega Millions Consortium – who administer and syndicate the game right across the USA and is one of the largest lottery games in the world – having already produced a world record jackpot of a massive US$ 656 MILLION in March 2012. This huge amount was shared between 3 Mega Millions winning tickets from the States of Illinois, Kansas and Maryland and currently stands as the 2nd biggest jackpot ever won in the history of lottery jackpot games anywhere around 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 be soon to follow.
On January 31st 2010 – VT Mega Millions lottery tickets were first sold after the Multi State Lottery Association (MUSL) who run the Powerball game – of which the Vermont Lottery is a member – had 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 Vermont Mega Millions lottery works in exactly the same way as the Mega Millions game works in all the other 46 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 VT 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 is drawn.
Draws for the Vermont Mega Millions lottery 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 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 VT Mega Millions a chance to increase their winnings on all levels of the prize structure apart from the Mega Millions 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 would win US$ 5 MILLION.
The aim when you are playing is to correctly select as many of the Mega Millions winning numbers as possible – and with a grand total of 9 different ways in which you can win on the Vermont Mega Millions Lottery – you have a great chance of winning a prize.
There are principally 4 ways you can play the VT MegaMillions…
1. Pick 5 of your own main (white ball) numbers from 1 to 70 plus your 1 MEGA Ball (gold ball) number from 1 to 25.
2. Pick 5 of your own main (white ball) numbers from 1 to 70 and use the Quick Pick option to let the computer choose your MEGA Ball (gold ball)
number for you from 1 to 25 – using a lottery number generator / random number generator.
3. Use the Quick Pick option to let the computer pick your 5 main (white ball) numbers from 1 to 70 using a random number generator – and then pick your own MEGA Ball (gold ball) number from 1 to 25.
4. Use the Quick Pick option to let the computer choose both your 5 main (white ball) numbers from 1 to 70 AND also your 1 MEGA Ball (gold ball) number from 1 to 25 using its random number generator.
