US$ 400 Million Mega Millions Approaches Current World Jackpot Record

MELBOURNE, Australia, December 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

Australians Can Play Online at theLotter.com

Take a break from planning that Crimbo Beach BBQ because over in America, NEW Mega Millions has broken into the Top 5 lottery jackpots ever offered! Join thousands of Australian players who regularly buy lottery tickets online at theLotter.com for your chance at Friday's US$ 400,000,000 Mega Millions jackpot.

The US lottery giant currently holds the top spot with a $656 million payday fuelled by fan frenzy that the media labeled 'March Madness' in early 2012. Mega Millions has since struggled to pass the $200 million mark as it has watched fellow US lotto, Powerball, post thirteen 9-figure jackpots in attempting to claim the title of world lottery jackpot record holder. However, major Mega Millions changes in October 2013 have led to Friday's US$ 400 million offering and all signs point to a long-awaited Mega Millions revival right in time for Christmas!

theLotter fans worldwide have enjoyed the arms-length American lottery dual, celebrating big wins for online players such as B.U. from London. Inspired by the Mega Millions world record, B.U. joined theLotter and won a $1,000,000 second place prize on his fifth online lottery purchase. B.U. is just one of more than 1,000,000 online lotto players to win with theLotter in the last decade, three of whom won $250,000 Mega Millions second prizes.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Oz Lotto also rolled over and currently stands at a highly respectable AU$ 70 million. But Aussie lottery fans looking to play the world's biggest jackpot online should be Playing it Global with theLotter. Select your lucky numbers (manually or with Quick Pick), decide if you want to play a One-Time Entry, save up to 25% with a Multi-Draw or get every 10th ticket free with a Subscription package, and complete your purchase. theLotter then buys official lottery tickets on your behalf and provides a scan of your ticket in your account before the draw.
