How to Play Mega Millions

image-20220520093556-2Then, select one Mega Ball® between 1 and 25 from the bottom portion of the playboard.

Options

image-20220520093725-1Quick Pick: Mark the QP box, for one or both of the playslip areas, to have the terminal randomly select your numbers for you.

image-20220520093739-2Multi-Draw: Mega Millions can be played for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10 or 15 consecutive drawings. Each play costs $2.

image-20220520093749-3 Add the Megaplier® feature for an extra $1 per playboard, and increase your non-jackpot prize winnings by 2, 3, 4 or 5 times their normal value! Mark the "Y" or YES box next to "Megaplier" to select this feature for all play boards on the playslip. The Megaplier number will be chosen from a field of 15 numbers according to the following frequency: one 5X, three 4X, six 3X and five 2X.

With the Megaplier feature, any $2 through $1 million prize won on a Mega Millions play will be multiplied by that drawing's Megaplier number. For example, if you purchase a ticket with the Megaplier option, win $10,000 in the Mega Millions drawing and the Megaplier number drawn is 4, you could win a total of $40,000 ($10,000 x 4).

Give your playslip to the retailer to process your ticket. Check your ticket to confirm that the numbers and date are correct. Sign your ticket, and store it in a safe place. Remember to check the next Mega Millions drawing to see if you've won!
