In the United States the Mega Millions lottery is very popular. To participate, players simply need to purchase a ticket in one of the jurisdictions where Mega Millions is available and must choose six numbers; five numbers from 1 to 70, which correspond to the white balls; and a number from 1 to 25. The latter corresponds to the golden Mega Ball.
As you can imagine, to win the jackpot, participants must match the six numbers that appear on the white and golden balls.
Now, the Mega Millions lottery offers nine prize options, from $2.00 USD to one million dollars or the accumulated jackpot.
The fact is that players who do not guess all the numbers and the golden ball and have less chance of guessing can still win prizes.
What combinations will result?
For matching five numbers, the prize would be $1,000,000.00 USD; and matching 4 numbers and the Mega Ball gets you $10,000.00 USD.
With four correct numbers you get $500.00 USD and with three numbers and the Mega Ball, players can get $200.00 USD
Three numbers equal $10.00 USD; 2 numbers and the Mega Ball are worth $10.00 USD while one number and the Mega Ball are worth $4.00 USD. Finally, matching just the Mega Ball gets you $2.00 USD.
Here it is important to clarify that in some cases, thanks to the Megaplier multiplier, million dollar prizes can be higher.
This is exactly what happened on January 2nd in Connecticut, a sum equal to $2 million, but has not yet been claimed.
As reported by the Connecticut Lottery, this winner received a lucky ticket at a Colony News & Lotto store in Milford.
This ticket has an expiration date of June 30, 2024, so the participant will have to request it beforehand if they don’t want to lose it.
This prize can be claimed at Connecticut Lottery offices on weekdays between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
Additionally, the winner will need to present two valid forms of identification, including a photo ID to claim the prize.
