Pick Your Numbers
Select 5 from 70 numbers and 1 out of 25 numbers for Mega Ball. Use a Playslip to choose your numbers or check the QP (Quick Pick) box for randomly generated numbers. Or, simply ask your retailer for a Mega Millions Quick Pick!
Buy Your Ticket
Ticket buyers must be at least 18. Mega Millions tickets cost $2 and are available at most Colorado retailers. Add the Megaplier option for an extra $1 per line of play and multiply your winnings up to five times the original amount (excluding jackpot)*. The Megaplier multiplier (2, 3, 4 or 5) is drawn before the Mega Millions winning numbers.
Lottery games may be purchased using a debit card where accepted by retailers (not all retailers accept debit cards). Lottery tickets can never be purchased with a credit card.
Play Multiple Drawings
Purchase up to 13 weeks (26 drawings) in advance with Advance Play. Just check the Advance Play box on the Playslip or ask your retailer for it. You’ll play the same numbers for all drawings.

*Mega Millions officials may reduce prize levels for Mega Millions and/or the MegaPlier in the event that the number of winner claims exceed the available prize fund for a given draw. In this instance, dollars allocated to each prize level impacted will be divided equally among the winners.
