In the United States, the Mega Millions lottery is very popular. To participate, players only need to purchase a ticket in one of the jurisdictions where Mega Millions is available. Additionally, they 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 balls and the gold ball.
Now, the Mega Millions lottery offers nine prize options, from $2.00 USD to one million dollars or the accumulated prize pool.
The fact is that players who do not match all the numbers and the golden ball, and have fewer guesses, can still win prizes.
What combinations would result?
For matching five numbers, the prize would be $1,000,000.00 USD; and by matching 4 numbers and the Mega Ball you get $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 and one number and the Mega Ball are worth $4.00 USD. Finally, for matching only the Mega Ball you get $2.00 USD.
Here it is important to clarify that in certain cases, thanks to the Megaplier multiplier, the prizes of one million dollars can be higher.
This is precisely what happened on January 2 in Connecticut, which amounted to $2 million, but has not yet been claimed.
As reported by the Connecticut Lottery, this winner got a lucky ticket at a Colony News & Lotto store in Milford.
This ticket has an expiration date of June 30, 2024, therefore the participant must claim it before, if they do not want to lose it.
This prize can be claimed at Connecticut Lottery offices weekdays between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
Additionally, the winner must present two forms of valid identification, including a photo ID to claim their prize.
