Next draw: £83M on Wednesday, 14 May 2025 UTC
What Is The US Mega Millions?
Mega Millions is one of America's biggest jackpot games, and the size of the payouts is legendary. In 2012, the biggest ever top prize of $656m led to worldwide news reports. But can you bet on the outcome of this massive jackpot lottery from the UK?
At Lottomart Games, you can win those humongous Mega Millions jackpots by betting on the outcome of the draw. The draws take place every Tuesday and Friday at 23:00 Eastern Time (ET), so approximately 04:00 UK time on Wednesday and Saturday in the UK, and there's a minimum $20m top prize available for every draw and 9 ways to win!
How does betting on a lottery differ from buying a ticket?
If you're not in the US, you don't have the option to buy a physical lottery ticket in a store, but you can still be a part of these huge jackpot events by betting on the outcome online. The game's structure stays the same, so you'll notice very little difference when selecting your numbers for the Mega Millions at Lottomart Games. And if you manage to successfully predict the 5 main draw numbers and the Mega Ball and hit the main jackpot prize, then Lottomart Games will be paying you out the ming boggling sum of money!

How do I check my Mega Millions results?
If you have purchased a line bet on the Mega Millions, we will make the results available as fast as possible after the official draw concludes. You can find out the draw results at any time by going to the "My Buys" section of the Lottomart site or app.
Most wins will automatically be credited to your account once the draw has concluded. This usually means your win will be in your account within a few hours. Bigger prizes from the top prize tiers may be subject to additional verification checks before being credited to your account and may take a little longer.

Can I improve my chances of winning the Mega Millions?
At Lottomart Games, we offer you the exclusive opportunity to use a feature we developed called Boost! This gives our players a greater chance of potentially scoring a major jackpot win on any of the great worldwide lotteries. The way Boost works is pretty simple.
The Mega Millions jackpot has hit £320m, and the question becomes: do you want one shot at the £320m, or would you prefer 32 shots at winning £10m? That's what we offer at Lottomart Games!
The Boost feature works by giving you an increased number of line bets, for the same price, in exchange for a proportionate decrease in the value of the main jackpot prize. So you can have 32 lines for a £10m jackpot or 1 line for a £320m - all for the same price.

Adjustments
Prize tiers 1, 2, and 3 are subject to a 38% reduction; the equivalent deduction for state and federal tax that is paid by winners of the underlying lottery draw.
Prize tier 1 (the jackpot) may be subject to an additional adjustment if it is paid all at once (lump sum) rather than in yearly instalments (annuity). Lump sum payouts are subject to a variable prize reduction, which is at minimum 40%. The final lump sum reduction percentage depends on the size of the jackpot and is determined by the underlying lottery for each draw. Winners may request their preferred option; however, the final payout plan chosen is at our sole discretion.
The advertised jackpot amount shows the value without any deductions or lump sum reductions. The max jackpot value shown is for indicative purposes only and uses the 38% tax deduction and an estimated 40% lump sum reduction value. The final jackpot value that will be paid out can only be determined once the draw has concluded and the final lump sum reduction percentage is known.
Other options
We don't currently support Just the Jackpot or Megaplier options.
