Mega Millions® Rules

HOW IT WORKS

Mega Millions is a six (6) number draw game offered by the State Lottery.


SUMMARY

To play Mega Millions, you will choose five (5) numbers from 1-70 and a Mega Ball from 1-24. To enjoy a random set of lucky numbers, try selecting Quick Pick. If no one wins the jackpot, it rolls over into the next draw for an even bigger prize. Lotto.com also offers the option to enroll your ticket as a subscription so you never miss a game!


NUMBER SELECTION

In Mega Millions, you choose five (5) numbers from 1-70 and a Mega Ball from 1-24. These numbers are then scored against the winning numbers to see if they match. The more chosen numbers that match the winning numbers, the higher the prize. Match all six (6) numbers including the Mega Ball and win the jackpot!


QUICK PICK

Looking to change up your luck? Let the Quick Pick tool select a set of random game numbers for you. Each play gives you the chance to choose your lucky numbers or use Quick Pick. Lucky numbers can continue to be changed until checkout.


JACKPOT

The Mega Millions jackpot for matching all six (6) numbers including the Mega Ball starts at $50 Million. Each time a draw is held without a jackpot winner, the prize amount rolls into the next draw and continues to grow. The jackpot will continue to increase until a winner is found, with prizes often increasing to hundreds of millions of dollars. That’s a lot of zeros!


WAGER

Mega Millions can be enjoyed with a wager of just $5. A new wager is added for each additional play included on the ticket.
