Odds Of Winning Megabucks
Exactly as you should expect. The lowest odds I've found are 1 in 32,768 (for a 1000-coin jackpot on a flavor of Red White & Blue), and the longest are 1 in 49,836,032, for Megabucks. If your selected numbers match the drawn numbers you crack the winning lottery prizes against the super favorable jackpot odds of 1 in 13,983,816. However, Mass Megabucks is still a better bet than some of the options in your state like the odds of one in 30,821,472 of winning Lucky for Life. Even worse, the winning set of Mega Millions numbers only have the odds of one in 302,575,350 to win; and the odds of choosing the winning Powerball numbers are a terrifying one in 292 million! Tri-State Megabucks® is a $2 game that starts the jackpot at $1 million and has a second-tier prize of $30,000. It offers the BEST overall odds of any of our games at 1 in 5.9! This game is available locally in New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont, which means all of.
Overall odds of winning a prize are 1 in 5.9. Prize amounts based on a $2 play. If there are multiple jackpot winners for a drawing, the Jackpot prize will be divided equally among jackpot winners.
