How to Claim Your Winnings (If You're Lucky Enough!)
While Mega Millions isn't officially available in South Africa, many South Africans participate through online lottery services. If you played through one of these services and have winning numbers, be sure to follow their specific instructions for claiming your prize.
In the United States, where the lottery originates, claiming prizes varies by state. In Louisiana, for example, prizes up to $600 can be redeemed at any Louisiana Lottery retailer. Larger prizes require mailing in your winning ticket and claim form, or visiting the Louisiana Lottery headquarters in Baton Rouge.
Even Matching One Number Can Win!
You don't need to match all the numbers to win something! Matching just the Mega Ball number is enough to win a small prize. Matching one of the main numbers and the Mega Ball increases your winnings significantly.
When Are the Next Mega Millions Drawings?
Mega Millions drawings are held every Tuesday and Friday. So, if you didn't win this time, you have another chance soon! Good luck, and remember to play responsibly!
