The Most Famous Lotteries Online

The lottery is a game that only takes five minutes to master, but a lifetime (and a ridiculous amount of luck) to win. It is mainly a game of chance, where one bets on a certain combination of numbers to win a big pool of money. There are at least 49 balls in every game, which makes it almost impossible to win, but there’s something about the lottery that keeps on bringing people back for more.

The rise of the online lottery has made the infectious game of lotto more accessible to people living anywhere on the planet. Here are some of the most popular online lotteries to date:

Powerball – The winning combination is established by drawing 5 white balls out of a pool of 59, and 1 red ball out of a group of 35. Powerball is drawn every Wednesday and Saturday.

SuperLotto – The SuperLotto is similar to Powerball, with 5 numbers taken out of 47 balls and 1 number, the Mega number, taken out of a separate group of 27. In California, SuperLotto is also drawn every Wednesday and Saturday.

Mega Millions – Mega Millions follows another variation of the tried-and-tested Powerball formula: 5 balls out of 75 and 1 Mega Ball number out of 15. The chosen numbers can be played more than once, and the draws happen every Tuesday and Friday nights for the North Carolina variety of the game.
