Jackpot.com, a leading online lottery courier service, has upgraded its Mega Millions format to deliver improved odds, larger starting jackpots, and a built-in multiplier feature on every play for customers.
Players Can Order Tickets Via Mobile Phone, Tablet, Or Computer
The new system is set to launch this April, and tickets will cost $5. Players can securely order official state lottery tickets on their mobile phone, tablet, or computer without traveling to a physical retailer.
“Mega Millions is one of the most exciting and widely played lottery games in the U.S., and these changes are expected to generate even more enthusiasm among players,” said Akshay Khanna, CEO and co-founder of Jackpot.com.
“Our mission at Jackpot.com is to make the lottery more accessible and convenient while prioritizing responsible gaming. We are ready to support our customers as they experience the new Mega Millions format.”
Current Mega Millions Format Ends On April 4
When the final drawing of the current game format ends on April 4, all updates to the game will debut to offer larger winnings within every non-jackpot tier, improved odds of winning, and even faster-growing jackpots.
The first drawing to feature the new format is scheduled for Tuesday, April 8 at 11 p.m. ET.
“This is the first time the game has been changed since the current game matrix was implemented in 2017, so we expect a great deal of interest when this new format goes into effect following the April 4 drawing,” Khanna added.
“We anticipate an increase in early ticket purchases as players are drawn to the excitement of rapidly escalating prizes, especially the chance to win bigger non-jackpot prizes made possible by the increase in ticket price.”
Jackpot.com Is Available In Seven States
Jackpot.com is currently available to U.S. residents in seven states — including Arizona, Colorado, Massachusetts, Arkansas, New Jersey, New York, and Ohio.
Customers in Arizona, Colorado, Massachusetts, and Ohio can order scratchers on Jackpot.com. The platform is planning to expand that special offering into additional states in the future.
The first lottery games in the United States were established in 1934 in Puerto Rico. Lotteries in the U.S. are legal in 48 jurisdictions, including 45 states, the District of Columbia, the U.S Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.
