The History Of Mega Millions In The US
The origins of Mega Millions goes back to a multi-state lottery called The Big Game, which started in August 1996. The original version of The Big Game included six states, and the game was renamed The Big Game Mega Millions in 2002.
In 2010, the Mega Millions Group entered into an agreement with the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL), the consortium of state lotteries which operates Powerball. The two national lotteries agreed to allow sales for both lotteries in all participating states.
This agreement led to the current US landscape, with both Mega Millions and Powerball offering purchases in 45 states. A 2011 change in federal stance on online gambling paved the way for states to start offering legal online lottery purchases.
Illinois became the first US state to legalize online lottery and has offered online purchases since 2012. Over the past decade, online lottery has expanded to include more than 15 states.

Are Online Mega Millions Purchases Safe?
Purchasing a Mega Millions ticket online offers a secure way to play the multi-state lottery, but only if the ticket is purchased through legal means. Several states offer online Mega Millions purchases through their own state lotteries, but these purchases are only legal in states that have legalized online lottery sales.
The Jackpocket mobile app extends online Mega Millions purchases to several other states. Jackpocket functions as a legal digital courier service for lottery tickets and provides another legal way to play Mega Millions online.
Outside of state-regulated online lottery and Jackpocket, any other online service offering Mega Millions purchases is doing so illegally.
Using these illegal online lottery outlets is not only against, but it could result in your money going down the drain. The worst-case scenario is that you might successfully pick winning numbers, only to find your ticket isn’t valid because it’s been purchased illegally.
