Although most people can gamble without ill effects, there are some people for whom gambling of any kind can be addictive and very harmful. Like other addictions, gambling is a treatable disease. Twelve-step programs have proven to be particularly helpful.

All Mega Millions lotteries support and encourage the work of groups like Gamblers Anonymous and the National Council on Problem Gambling to combat gambling addiction and encourage responsible gambling. If you think you or a loved one may have a gambling addiction, or if you want more information, you can call the confidential 24-hour hotline.

«You have won the lottery!» It’s something a lot of people want to hear. But sometimes those words come from scammers trying to steal your money. Some of those scammers have falsely identified themselves as affiliates of Mega Millions. No Mega Millions representative would call, text or email anyone about winning a prize.

Scams take many forms and scammers use many tricks. Criminals can contact unsuspecting consumers via email, phone, mobile phone, or social media sites, and tell victims that they have won a grand prize, including cash, cars, or other property. Filed As: January 18 Mega Millions Winning Numbers

Tips to avoid being scammed

Here are some tips to avoid being a victim of scammers and be completely sure that you are actually the new winner. If someone says you have won a lottery that you’ve never played, be suspicious. You can’t win a legitimate lottery if you didn’t buy a ticket.

Remember that real lotteries don’t run international sweepstakes, contests, or prizes for people who live outside of their area. Mega Millions, for example, is played only in the United States, so if you are outside of the United States and someone using our name tells you that you have won a grand prize, it’s a scam. Filed As: January 18 Mega Millions Winning Numbers
