Mega Millions
Mega Millions followed the original incarnation of Lotto America and Powerball in offering huge jackpots across multiple states. It has got bigger and bigger over time, with a jackpot that starts at $50 million and rolls over until there’s a winner, which has led to a number of $1 billion payouts. The built-in multiplier feature also increases non-jackpot prizes by up to 10 times.

Drawings take place every Tuesday and Friday at 11 p.m. ET in Atlanta, Georgia, and are broadcast on television channels across the US. If you can’t tune in, check back here after the draw, as the winning numbers are published straight away.
