About Us

 

History

With the initial name of “Numbers and Statistics”, the first source of statistics for games and lotteries was established in September 5, 1998, having spent 11 years doing statistics and making them available for games of chance. But it was in May 23, 2009 that the old “Numbers and Statistics” gave the big jump, starting to be available in the Internet and changing its name to the Megaball trademark and now also to the Megaball Magazine trademark.

 

Why Megaball?

It is a set of 5 Mega Balls (6 in the case of Lottery Canada) that allows us to reach the 1st prize, the jackpot and, for this reason, it makes a difference.

 

How does it work?

In a weekly basis, for each Lottery Game(1) are generated between 11 and 24 numbers, which are made available in the: www.megaballonline.com and now also at www.megaballmagazine.com website upon payment(2) -Together with the numbers is included a Key called ‘Type Key’ or ‘Odd or Even Key’, which determines where each Odd or Even number of the key will be drawn. What is a ‘Type Key” or “Odd or Even Key”? Just like a numeric key, it is a key of 5 (6 in the case of 6/49 Lottery Canada) words, which indicates if the 1st number of the next key to be drawn is: Even or Odd, if the 2nd number to be drawn is: Even or Odd and so on, until completing the key for betting on the next contest.
