HOW TO PLAY
Mega Millions® is a multi-state jackpot draw game with a jackpot starting at $12 million and growing until someone wins.
You have three ways to pick your numbers:
-
Choose QuickPick™ and let the computer select your numbers for you.
-
Choose your own numbers and mark them on the selection slip. Pick five white numbers (1 through 56), plus one Mega Ball number (1 through 46).
-
Choose just white numbers or just the Mega Ball number and QuickPick™ the other number(s). You can play Mega Millions for up to 10 consecutive drawing dates on the same ticket. Just tell the retailer at the time of purchase or mark the multi-draw box on your selection slip.
HOW TO WIN
Mega Millions has nine winning ball combinations. The more numbers you choose that match the numbers drawn, the more you win. If other players also match the six winning jackpot numbers, you’ll share the prize pool with them in equal amounts.
Overall odds of winning a Mega Millions prize are approximately 1 in 40
* If other players also match all six numbers, you'll share the prize with them in equal amounts.
MEGAPLIER®
Multiply your winnings with Megaplier®. For an extra $1 per game, you can multiply your winnings* up to four times based on a number from two to four randomly selected at draw time. Any player who purchases the Megaplier option and matches all 5 of the white ball numbers will automatically win $1 million.
*Megaplier does not apply to the jackpot.
PAYMENT OPTIONS
If you win the jackpot, you have 60 days to choose either a 26-year annuity or a lump-sum cash payment of approximately half the amount of the announced jackpot. If you do not select cash or annuity within the 60 days, your prize will be paid as an annuity.
