The Mega-Millions lottery is available in 41 states, as well as the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin islands as of July 2011. This multi-state lottery game provides higher jackpots than single-state lottery games, simply based on the number of people who play it. A ticket to play costs $1, and you win by matching numbers on your ticket with randomly drawn numbers sanctioned by the lottery commission.
