The next Mega Millions draw will take place this Friday, the 9th, with a jackpot worth US$ 204 million, converting to our currency, equivalent to more than R$ 1 billion. Each time it rolls up, the value of that jackpot increases even more, with no limits to grow.
The good news is that people outside the United States can also apply. It is necessary to register and play on a regulated and trusted online lottery platform. Mega Millions tickets cost around $5 per line.
How does Mega Millions work?
Even though it is known as the “Mega-Sena” of the USA, the dynamic differs from the version practiced in Brazil. When buying a ticket, participants need to choose five numbers between 1 and 70, and a sixth number, called Mega Ball, from 1 to 25. The bettor can match the first five numbers, but if he misses the golden number, he will not be considered award winner.
The winner can choose how to receive the prize, there are two options: a single installment, but with a smaller amount compared to the total amount of the prize; or receive a fixed amount monthly for 29 years.
With the current value of the prize of US$ 1 billion, if the winner chooses to receive everything at once, he will be entitled to withdraw US$ 707.9 million, corresponding to more than R$ 3.6 billion in the current conversion.
