Mega Millions is a consortium of 44 state lotteries. It holds the record biggest jackpot in U.S. lottery history. Approximately 50% of the Mega Millions sales goes back to the players in prize winnings. Roughly 15% goes to commission of retailers and lottery operating costs. Approximately 35% total sales is used in government services, education and charities in the member states. Mega Millions drawings occur 2 times a week every Tuesday and Friday at 7:59 p.m. Pacific Time. Mega Millions lottery uses a 5/70+1/25 matrix to randomly pick winning numbers. Each play costs $1. In some states, players can choose to pay $1 extra to buy the Megaplier, which multiplies the original prizes 2 to 5 times but not jackpot. The odds of winning any prizes is about 1 to 14. The odds of matching all six Mega Millions numbers are 1 to 302,575,350. The minimum Mega Millions advertised jackpot starts at 40 million dollar. Its annuity option is paid in 30 equal yearly installments. Winners can select one-time lump-sum cash payout instead.
Unlike other Mega Millions participants, all the nine prize levels of California Mega Millions are parimutuel, instead of non-jackpot prize having a set value.

For instance, the 2nd Mega Millions prizes is $1,000,000 could pay the winner over $1000,000 due to the pari-mutuel payout system of California lottery.
