Big Game Mega Millions is a multi-state Lottery game with BIG Jackpots. Nine states participate: Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Virginia. In September 2002, Washington will join in as the tenth member state.

By teaming up together, the member State Lotteries are able to offer players Jackpots that start at US$10 million. The Jackpots grow until someone wins. Jackpots have the potential to grow as high as US$500 million or more. In fact, Big Game (the previous version of Mega Millions) holds the record for the largest Lottery Jackpot ever paid in the United States: US$366 million!

On average, 35% of all Big Game Mega Millions ticket sales are dedicated to the beneficiary Government programs of each participating state. Approximately 50% of every dollar wagered goes back to the players in the form of prizes, and approximately 5% goes to retailers who sell tickets. The remainder is used for administrative costs. Please note that each member state is different, and may have different rules as to the exact disposition of Lottery revenue.

If you are playing Mega-millions through OSA, however, you have the option to retain your anonymity, as our accredited Lottery agent will be claiming the prize on your behalf.
