About Mega Millions

Mega Millions is a multi-state lottery game offered in 44 states including the state of, Washington D.C., and the US Virgin Islands.

Mega Millions drawings take place every Tuesday and Friday evening. Each Mega Millions play is only $2. For an additional $1 per play. However, players have the opportunity to add a “Megaplier” that can multiply non-jackpot prizes by up to five times.

Five balls are drawn from a set of balls numbered 1 through 70. One ball is drawn from a set of balls numbered 1 through 25.

You win if the numbers you predicted on one row of your ticket match the winning numbers drawn on that run. There are nine ways to win a prize, from $2 to the jackpot prize. However, if no player wins the jackpot, the prize rolls over to the next drawing. The overall odds of winning a prize are 1 in 24.
