How to Play Mega Millions

  1. Select 5 main numbers: Pick 5 numbers from 1 through 70. You can choose them yourself or use Easy Pick for a computer-generated selection. No two of your chosen numbers can be the same.
  2. Pick 1 Mega Ball number: Choose 1 Mega Ball number from 1 through 25, separate from your main numbers. Even matching just the Mega Ball without any main numbers pays $2, and matching it alongside main numbers increases your prize tier.
  3. Add the Megaplier (optional): For $1 more per play, you can add the Megaplier multiplier. If a Megaplier is drawn (2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x), all non-jackpot prizes are multiplied accordingly. A Match-5 prize of $1 million becomes $5 million with a 5x Megaplier.
  4. Purchase your ticket before the cut-off: Ticket sales close approximately 15 to 45 minutes before each draw — check your state's specific deadline. Draws are held every Tuesday and Friday at 11:00 PM Eastern Time.
  5. Review the draw results: After each draw, our Mega Millions results page shows the 5 winning main numbers plus the Mega Ball. Cross-check each number on your ticket carefully from left to right.
  6. Claim prizes promptly: Prizes under $600 can be collected at any lottery retailer. Higher-value prizes typically require a visit to your state lottery headquarters. The claim window varies by state, so act quickly to avoid missing the deadline.

Frequently Asked Questions

The jackpot odds stand at 1 in 302,575,350 — one of the longest in the world. However, the overall odds of winning any Mega Millions prize are about 1 in 24, meaning smaller wins happen regularly across the country in every draw.

The Megaplier is an optional add-on that costs $1 extra and multiplies your non-jackpot prizes. A 3x Megaplier would turn a $10,000 win into $30,000. Statistically, it adds value if you frequently win secondary prizes. For casual players, it is a personal preference.

The record Mega Millions jackpot was $1.602 billion, awarded in August 2023 to a ticket sold in Florida. It remains one of the most significant lottery prizes in history. Before that, a $1.537 billion jackpot was won by a single ticket in South Carolina in 2018.

Yes — there is no upper cap on the Mega Millions jackpot. Each time the jackpot is not won, it rolls over and grows based on ticket sales. Extended rollover streaks have pushed prizes well past the $1 billion mark on multiple occasions.

Yes. In the United States, lottery winnings are treated as ordinary income for federal tax purposes, meaning 37% federal tax applies to large prizes. State tax varies — some states have no lottery tax, others charge up to 10%. Winners are advised to consult a tax professional before claiming.
