How to Play Mega Millions
Mega Millions costs $5 per ticket. Players select six numbers: five from 1 to 70 (white balls) and one from 1 to 24 (gold Mega Ball). You can also choose the Easy Pick/Quick Pick option for randomly generated numbers.
Understanding the Multiplier
Mega Millions now includes a built-in multiplier that can increase non-jackpot prizes by two, three, four, five, or even ten times! This multiplier is automatically included and randomly assigned at the time of purchase.
What Can You Win?
- Match 5 White Balls + Mega Ball: Jackpot
- Match 5 White Balls: $2 million to $10 million (depending on the multiplier)
- Match 4 White Balls + Mega Ball: $20,000 to $100,000 (depending on the multiplier)
- ...and smaller prizes for matching fewer numbers.
Even matching just the Mega Ball wins you a prize! So, double-check your tickets and good luck in the next drawing!
