Notes:
- Mega Millions was originally known as The Big Game. Tickets first went on sale on August 31, 1996, and the first drawing was held on Friday, September 6, 1996. Drawings were initially once per week on Fridays, until the first Tuesday drawing, which took place on February 10, 1998. On May 17, 2002, The Big Game underwent many changes, including an increased number pool, a larger jackpot, and other changes, and the name of the game was changed to "Mega Millions".
- The dates shown are the dates tickets went on sale in the state, not the date of the first drawing.
