How do you play?
Tickets are $2 per performance. You choose six numbers for each ticket. The first five digits in the range of 1 to 70 are your white ball numbers. The last number you select from 1 to 25 will be your selection for the gold Mega Ball. Not sure what to choose? There are “Easy Pick” and “Quick Pick” choices that create numbers at random when you purchase your tickets. If you wish to draw your numbers before purchasing your tickets, Mega Millions features a random number generator on its website.

To win the jackpot, all six of your numbers must be drawn. Other award tiers, however, are based on fewer matching numbers.
What are my odds of winning?
Your chances of winning are 1 in 302.5 million. The odds improve slightly for the other prizes, but playing the lottery is still a gamble.
What’s the difference between the cash payout and the annual payout?
Winnings from the Mega Millions lottery can be distributed in one of two ways. You can select to get a lump sum of money when you win, but it will be less. The total for this jackpot is $1.025 billion, but if you want your prizes right away, you’d get $602.5 million in cash.
An yearly payment is another possibility. You will get one payment immediately after winning, followed by annual payments for the next 29 years. Those payouts rise by 5% each time, according to Mega Millions, to “protect winners’ lifestyle and spending power during periods of inflation.”
What’s the largest jackpot ever?
In October 2018, the greatest prize ever won in Mega Millions history was $1.537 billion. The winning ticket was purchased in the state of South Carolina.
