How to Play Mega Millions

Two Ways to Play

Pick five numbers from 1 to 70 or choose Quick Pick (QP) and the terminal will randomly pick numbers for you. Select one number from 1 to 25 or choose Quick Pick for the Mega Ball.

Never Miss a Drawing

Never miss a drawing by purchasing plays in up to 26 consecutive drawings at once, or 13 weeks in advance. Just check the Advance Play box on the Playslip and let the retailer know how many drawings you want to play. You will play the same numbers for all drawings.

Megaplier

For an extra $1 per play, add the Megaplier to multiply your winnings up to five times the original amount (excluding jackpot). The Megaplier multiplier (2X, 3X, 4X, or 5X) is drawn before the Mega Millions winning numbers.

More About Your Ticket

This is how your ticket will look once printed. Your ticket will show your numbers and the range of draw dates for which it is eligible. You will also see "Megaplier YES" to confirm your add-on selection.
