Cookies
When you visit the Mega Millions website
and request information, this site's server sends the request
to you and then breaks the connection. The connection does
not resume again until you perform another function. To ensure
that we maintain the connection between our server and your

use a standard web technology called "cookies."
A "cookie" is a very small amount of data that is
sent from our server to your computer's hard drive. "Cookies"
allow us to save the information that you input while progressing
through an online transaction. If your browser is not configured
to accept "cookies," you still will be able to access
the information on our website. No user information is gathered
through "cookies" on our website.

prevent unauthorized attempts to upload or change information
or otherwise cause damage to the site. Information on individuals
causing, or attempting to cause, damage to the website will
be traced and released to the appropriate legal authorities
