Top prize winners, however, were unexpectedly rare. The name 'Daily Millions' was chosen since MUSL believed the game would be popular enough for the association to award, on average, at least one $1 million prize per drawing. Matching all six won $1 million, which was cash, rather than annuitized. Players won by matching at least two of the six numbers, regardless of which color drum(s) the matching balls came from.
The balls were dyed in the shades of the American flag red, white, and blue, and drawn from three drum hoppers. Two numbers each were drawn from three colored number fields, each numbered from 1 through 21. Players paid US$1 for each game, which consisted of six numbers. The game was drawn daily, including Sundays. It began in September 1996 and was discontinued in March 1998. It was available in some of the jurisdictions that sell MUSL's most popular game, Powerball membership fluctuated during the period when it was available. For the similarly named Irish lottery game, see Daily Million.ĭaily Millions was a US lottery game administered by the Multi-State Lottery Association(MUSL).
