All Mega Millions responsibilities are shared by member states as part of their participation in the game, in contrast to several multi-state or multi-country lotteries that have central headquarters. While each member state is responsible for its own accounting, certain important tasks are shared, including projecting jackpots, budgeting, and spending, settling draw and wagering data, financial settlements (prize expense shares and banking/cash settlements), monitoring draw data and statistics, public relations, producing and airing draw shows, and legal work.
