Tuesday April 16th 2024Mississippi Lottery officials have welcomed Lotto America as the ‘perfect addition’ after announcing that the game will soon be launched in the state. The first drawing available to lottery fans in Mississippi will be on Monday, May 13.
What is Lotto America?
Lotto America is a multi-state game that is currently played in 13 jurisdictions across the country. There are three drawings a week and the jackpot is always worth at least $2 million.
To play, you just need to pick five main numbers from 1 to 52, and a Star Ball between 1 and 10. Unlike Powerball and Mega Millions, it costs just $1 per play. Go to the Lotto America page to learn more about how it works.
The All Star Bonus is a multiplier option that increases the value of non-jackpot prizes by up to five times. In Mississippi, you will also be able to add EZ-Match to give you another chance to win.
Mississippi Lottery Happy To Join
There was no state lottery in Mississippi until 2019. Over the past few years, a wide variety of games have been rolled out to suit players with different tastes.
Lotto America offers better odds of winning the jackpot than Powerball and Mega Millions, plus a lower cost, while still providing the opportunity to become a multimillionaire.
Go to the Mississippi page to find out more about the other games played in the Magnolia State.
“Lotto America is popular in many other states,” said Mississippi Lottery President Jeff Hewitt. “As we noted player feedback, many players mentioned offering a draw-style game with a jackpot in between Match 5 and Powerball or Mega Millions. Lotto America is the perfect addition to our portfolio.”
Lotto America tickets will go on sale in Mississippi on Sunday, May 12, ahead of the next day’s drawing. You can check the latest winning numbers on Lottery.net every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.
