Jackpot USA

Jackpot USA is an upcoming Fast Play game that will be offered by various state lotteries and have a top prize that starts at $1 million.

It is a product of the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL), developed to combine the big jackpots of lotteries such as Powerball with the instant excitement of Fast Play games.

How to Play

The full rules for Jackpot USA have yet to be announced, but it is set to work in the same way as other Fast Play games.

You can take part through your state lottery - buying tickets through authorized retailers, self-service terminals and, in some cases, smart phones and computer devices.

Each state lottery will confirm which games are associated with Jackpot USA in due course, but they will typically be the type where you have to match numbers, symbols or words to those printed on your ticket.

Progressive Jackpot

Every time a ticket is bought, funds go towards the jackpot, just like with a traditional lottery. The value of the current jackpot will be displayed when you buy your ticket.

The difference is that it is a progressive jackpot that will be continuously growing as tickets keep getting sold. You don't have to wait for a draw to take place - you can win the grand prize immediately.

As it is a multi-state game, unlike other Fast Play offerings, the participating lotteries all pool the prize money together through Intralot's patented Jackpot Management System. This has been established specifically to process larger amounts of money than have ever been seen before with Instant Win games.

The jackpot starts at $1 million and could climb very quickly before it is won, due to the high volume of ticket sales across the country.

When the jackpot is won, it resets to $1 million.

Participating States

The number of states that will participate in Jackpot USA has yet to be finalized, but the game is set to be offered by many lotteries throughout the U.S. as it is an MUSL product.

The MUSL consists of lots of different members, which represent states and other jurisdictions such as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. They all sell Instant games of some kind, so Jackpot USA could quickly become a favorite for players everywhere.
