A Mega Millions lottery ticket with its name and numbered play grid.

Clue explained

Mega is the first word in Mega Millions, the U.S. multistate lottery known for its enormous jackpots. Players choose numbers on a ticket, and the top prize goes to a ticket matching the five main numbers and the separate Mega Ball. The game began in 1996 as The Big Game and took the Mega Millions name in 2002. When no ticket wins the jackpot, it can grow for the next drawing.
