Naquela \u00e9poca, apenas seis estados \u2013 Ge\u00f3rgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan e Virg\u00ednia \u2013 participaram dos sorteios.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelotter.com\/pt\/bilhetes-loteria\/mega-millions-eua\/\">Jogar na Mega Millions<\/a>&nbsp;tornou-se cada vez mais popular entre os f\u00e3s de loteria e um sorteio semanal nas ter\u00e7as-feiras foi adicionado em fevereiro de 1998. Visto que o Big Game evoluiu ao longo do tempo, mais n\u00fameros foram adicionados ao espectro de palpites, e tamb\u00e9m foi introduzida a op\u00e7\u00e3o de pagamento em dinheiro para coletar o jackpot.

Em maio de 2002, a loteria foi relan\u00e7ada sob o nome atual de Mega Millions e o primeiro sorteio sorteio foi realizado em 17 de maio de 2002. Ao mesmo tempo, os estados de Nova York e Ohio se juntaram ao cons\u00f3rcio.
