How to play Mega Millions
To purchase a ticket, you will need to visit your local convenience store, gas station, or grocery store. In a few states, you can purchase tickets online.
To play, you will need to choose six numbers. Five numbers will be white balls ranging from 1 to 70. The golden Mega Ball is a number between 1 and 25.
If you think the odds are against you, ask for a “Quick Pick” or “Easy Pick” and the computer will randomly generate the numbers for you.
Players can add the “Megaplier” for $1, which can double, triple, quadruple or five times their non-jackpot winnings. The Megaplier is drawn before the Mega Millions numbers on Tuesdays and Fridays.
There are 15 Megapiler balls in total:
- 2Xfive balls
- 3Xsix balls
- 4Xthree balls
- 5Xa ball
