Mega Millions TriviaDid you know?...
There was a jackpot winner in the very first Mega Millions drawing. The drawing on May 17, 2002 resulted in a $27 million winning ticket in Chicago.
There was a second jackpot winner just one week later - which means there were two jackpot winners within the first three Mega Millions drawings.
More than 52% of the United States population lives in the twelve states that offer Mega Millions.
More than 200 million tickets were sold (at $1 per ticket) for the record $390 million jackpot on March 6, 2007.
Mega Millions has awarded three jackpots of more than $300 million, including the largest North American jackpot of $390 million.
It only took 68 drawings (34 weeks) for Mega Millions to sell its 1 billionth ticket on January 7th 2003.
Mega Millions ticket sales reached 2 billion tickets just 67 drawings later (33.5 weeks) on August 29th, 2003.
The third billionth ticket came just 49 drawings later (24.5 weeks).

Lottery Sales Up In Recession
Even in these tough economic times, many people are feeling lucky.
More than half of all states with lotteries have reported rising sales over the past six months, and some researchers say financial insecurity might be driving people to risk more of their money than usual on $1 and $5 instant scratch-offs and other daily games in hopes of a big payoff.
