    The official game consists of 12 Member States, but a reciprocal agreement allows the sale of Mega Millions in a state that sells Powerball tickets. The price is the second largest in Missouri and Kansas since retailers began selling tickets in January.


    The draw will take place on Friday at 22 clock. Customers can purchase tickets for up to one hour in advance.
