About Mega Millions
Mega Millions is one of the two largest lottery games in the USA.
Draws take place every Tuesday and Friday at 11pm EST in Atlanta, Georgia, and tickets cost $2 each.
You need to pick 5 correct numbers from 70, and one 'Mega Ball' number from 25 to win the jackpot.
For an extra $1, you can buy into the 'Megaplier', which will multiply your win by the Megaplier number (for non-jackpot only).
This lottery has one of the highest winning odds of any, but that means the jackpots can reach astronomical sums - often over $1 billion dollars.
When is the draw?
Hot and Cold Mega Millions Numbers
Find out which numbers have been drawn the most (and the least) in the last 100 draws of the US Mega Millions lotto game.
This can help lottery players to pick their numbers by either riding a number on a hot streak (for example drawn 15 or more times in the last 100 draws), or picking numbers that have barely been drawn and therefore might be "due" (for example drawn only once in the last 100 draws).

Mega Millions began life as The Big Game back in 1996 and is played in 44 US states. You can play here at World Lottery Site from anywhere in the World though!
The first drawing of MM as we know it today was in 2002.
The largest jackpot in the history of this famous American lottery was an astonishing $1.537 billion, on October 23 2018. There was one fortunate winner from a ticket purchased in South Carolina.
Largest Jackpots
Other jackpots have hit $656 million (2012) and $648 million (2013). There have been plenty of other winners over $500M in this blockbuster lotto game.
