Last year, Connecticut, Hawaii, New Jersey and Massachusetts all proposed legislation to introduce a form of online lottery. However, none of the bills were able to get passed. It’s speculated that lawmakers plan to introduce a similar bill during each state’s 2019 legislative session.

Mega Millions

Mega Millions is one of the biggest multi-state lottery games played in the US, including Washington, D.C., and the US Virgin Islands. It is operated by the Multi-State Lottery Association.

For the cost of $2, customers pick five numbers from a set of 70 and one Mega Ball from a set of 25.

The odds of winning the Mega Millions are an astonishing 1 in 302.6 million, depending on the jackpot size. However, if there is no winner during the Tuesday and Friday drawings, the prize money rolls over. This means the jackpot can continue to grow, even surpassing the billion-dollar mark.

Mega Millions drawings happen throughout the year. Recently, a Texas resident claimed the $227 million jackpot following the Sept. 24, 2019 drawing. The September 24 Mega Millions winning numbers were 6-14-24-42-46 and the gold ball was 9. Additionally, a Florida player won $4 million. The resident matched all five white numbers to net $1 million, and a Megaplier of 4 increased the winnings.

Occasionally, the jackpot can climb to historic highs. In October 2018, Mega Millions broke records as the jackpot ascended with no winner. The outrageous odds kept climbing by the day, and by Oct. 23 the prize had reached $1.5 billion. Oct. 23 not only represented the largest Mega Millions drawing in American history but the overall largest lottery drawing in American history. A winning ticket was sold in South Carolina, but no one has come forth to claim the prize money.

For an additional $1, customers can purchase a Megaplier. In simple terms, this allows prize money won, excluding the jackpot, to multiply.

Powerball

The second multistate lottery game is Powerball. The odds of winning the Powerball are still high at 1 in 292 million. However, due to changes in the law, the game now awards the biggest lottery jackpots in the world.

Much like the Mega Millions, the game is simple. Customers purchase a $4 ticket and select five numbers ranging from one to 69 and a Powerball from one to 26.

Additionally, customers can purchase a “Power Play” option which multiplies the winnings, excluding the jackpot.

Where do funds go?

All revenue collected from all 44 state lottery games go to education or a state general fund.

What to do if you win

Step one: Celebrate.

All lottery winners across the country, including Mega Millions and Powerball winners, have between 180 to 365 days to collect their prize. New Mexico however, only give winners 90 days to collect prize money.

For a rather large payout, it’s strongly advised to consult tax experts.

Mega Million ticket winners that win more than $5,000 automatically pay a 25 percent Federal Tax. Anything between $600 and $5,000 must be declared on a federal tax form.

Same goes for Powerball winners.
