It holds the record biggest jackpot of $656 million in North American lottery history. On average, 50% of the Mega Millions sales goes back for the players through prize winnings. Around 15% goes to retailer commissions and lottery operating costs. Roughly 35% total sales is used to support government services, education and charities in the member states. Each play costs $1. In some states, players can choose to spend 1 extra dollar to buy the Megaplier, which multiplies the original winnings 2 to 5 times but not grand prize. The minimum Mega Millions jackpot starts at $40 million. Its annuity option is paid in 30 equal yearly installments. Winners may select one-time lump sum cash payout instead.
