The biggest Jackpots ever drawn in Lotto America

Lotto America cannot offer you such giant Jackpots as other American lotteries can do. However, the game already paid out several major Jackpots over the short history of its existence. Read our article about the biggest Lotto America prizes. Also, today we’ll tell you why we need Lotto America while we have Mega Millions and Powerball.

Why Lotto America is not worse than Mega Millions and Powerball

Why do we need Lotto America if we have Powerball and Mega Millions? Today we will explain to you why this young American lottery is so popular.

When we talk about a good lottery, we often mean the Jackpot amount. Like, Powerball is a good game, because it raffles the biggest prizes in the world ever. Conversely, the Spanish game Bonoloto is a so-so game, nothing special, which means that it is not worthy of our attention because of small prize amounts. In fact, there are many other parameters by which you can determine whether a particular lottery is good or not.

  • The number of prize options. Like Powerball and Mega Millions, Lotto America has 9 prize divisions. To win the minimum prize, you need to match just one Bonus Number.
  • By the way, what about the minimum prize? The minimum Powerball prize is $ 4, while the minimum prize for Mega Millions and Lotto America is $ 2.
  • Chances to win any prize. Powerball winning odds are 1 in 24.87. The chance of winning any prize at Mega Millions is 1 in 40, while the odds of winning in Lotto America are 1 in 9.63. As you can see, this is a hands-out winner! It turns out that if you want to win any prize in the lottery, Lotto America has better chances for this than lottery giants like Mega Millions and Powerball.

Of course, Lotto America is in many ways worse than the most famous American lotteries. For example, its smallest Jackpot is only $ 2.000.000, while the Mega Millions and Powerball Jackpots never roll down forty million dollars. However, when it comes to winning the Jackpot, often it doesn’t matter how much you win. American Jackpots are always so large that you won’t be able to spend one over all your life, even if you try hard.

How to play Lotto America?

Here are a few facts you need to know about Lotto America:

  1. To win the Jackpot, you need to match 5 regular numbers and an additional Bonus Ball number.
  2. Lotto America has 52 regular numbers and 10 Bonus Balls in the game set.
  3. Lotto America, like other American games, has a multiplier. Its name is the All Star Bonus and it is able to increase any of your prizes (except for the Jackpot) 2, 3, 4 or 5 times.
