Powerball vs Mega Millions
Powerball and Mega Millions are almost identical in prize structure and odds of winning. However, based on our side-by-side comparison of the two games (shown below) we slightly favor Mega Millions as our preferred choice.
The two primary reasons we chose Mega Millions over Powerball are:
- Mega Millions $1 minimum bet vs Powerball's $2
- Mega Millions odds of winning the 2nd prize of one million (w/$2 bet)
The rest of the cash prizes/odds are the same or similar.
