Several states in the United States offer lotteries, allowing players to win large sums of money. These games are played in the form of draw games, instant win games, and multi-state lotteries. Each of the above offers different rules and odds.
The New Hampshire Lottery started in 1964 and continues to draw crowds with huge jackpots. It offers several draw games including Powerball, Mega Millions, and Keno. In addition, the Lotto has several multi-state games. Some of the top prize jackpots can reach up to $200,000.
Another popular lottery is the Mega Millions, which was launched in 2004 and offers odds of one million dollars. It is played in the United States, the US Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. Its jackpot has been estimated to reach up to $1 billion in future years. It is also available in the United Kingdom and France.
Powerball is also played in the United States, and is played in 21 states. Each player has to pick five numbers from a pool of 69 total numbers. The ticket costs $2 and the odds are one in 292,201,338. To win the jackpot, you must match both the pool numbers and another number from a 26-number pool. In addition to these numbers, you must also match the Mega number. This is the game’s biggest jackpot.
