How to Play Mega Millions
Playing is easy. To learn how, follow the 5 simple steps.
STEP 1
Select Quick Pick®, or ask the cashier for a Mega Millions Quick Pick, and the random number generator will choose the numbers for you or use a Lottery playslip, which you can find at any Lottery retailer to pick 5 numbers between 1 and 70 and 1 Mega number between 1 and 24.
To play the same numbers for up to 10 consecutive draws, just mark Advance Play®.
Advance Play allows you to play multiple draws with one purchase.
STEP 2
Pay for your purchase. Each Mega Millions play is $5. Your ticket is your receipt. Once it prints, the play cannot be canceled or refunded.
STEP 3
Know the draw times. Mega Millions draws on Tuesdays and Fridays at 8 p.m. Draw entry closes at 7:45 p.m. on the day of the draw.
STEP 4
Remember that Mega Millions has 9 winning ball combinations. The more numbers on your ticket that match the numbers drawn, the more you win. Plus you can multiply non-jackpot prizes up to 10X. Each play has an automatic multiplier of 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X.
STEP 5
Use any of these ways to see if you’re a Mega Millions winner:
- Look on the Lottery website for winning numbers and prize amounts.

Mega Millions is bigger and better than ever with a new and improved game! The new game has a larger starting jackpot, bigger jackpots more frequently, faster growing jackpots, and improved odds. It also has a new feature – a built-in multiplier on every play. This automatically multiplies non-jackpot prizes by 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X or 10X.
Mega Millions is a multi-state draw game available nationwide with mega jackpots. Each play is $5. Mega Millions can be played in 45 states plus the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The game has a larger starting jackpot of $50 million that will typically increase by a minimum of $10 million per roll, depending on sales. The game also has better odds. Say goodbye to breakeven prizes – meaning whenever you win, you will receive more than the cost of the ticket. There is also a new built-in multiplier, which means you can win up to 10X on a non-jackpot prize on every play.
The new multiplier is automatically printed on Mega Millions tickets for each play at no additional cost. Each play has its own multiplier of 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X or 10X. For example, with a 2X multiplier, a $5 win would automatically become a $10 win, while a 10X would turn into a $50 win.
Every Mega Millions play will be randomly assigned a multiplier. The multiplier for your play cannot be selected; it is assigned by the random number generator. A multiplier may repeat for different plays on the same ticket.
The new Mega Millions game costs $5 per play.
