Everything you need to know about playing Mega Millions
Playing Mega Millions is straightforward. You'll pick 5 numbers from 1 to 70, then add one Mega Ball from 1 to 24. Can't decide? Go with Quick Pick and let the terminal choose random numbers for you. Drawings happen Tuesday and Friday at 11:00 PM ET, and you win by matching numbers to the drawn results. The more you match, the bigger your prize. Match all 5 plus the Mega Ball, and you've hit the jackpot.
Visit any authorized USA Lottery retailer, most convenience stores, gas stations, and grocery stores sell tickets. Tell the clerk you want Mega Millions, or use a self-service terminal if available. You can pick your own numbers or ask for Quick Pick. Tickets cost $5.00 per play. Make sure to buy before the sales cutoff, which is 10:45 PM ET on drawing days. Always check your ticket before leaving the store.

Want to learn more? Check our state-by-state guides:
A standard Mega Millions ticket costs $5.00 per play. Want more chances? Buy multiple plays on one ticket. Most retailers accept cash and debit cards. The minimum purchase is one play.
Mega Millions drawings happen Tuesday and Friday at 11:00 PM ET. That gives you 2 chances to win each week. Ticket sales close at 10:45 PM ET on drawing nights. If you buy a multi-draw ticket, it'll play the same numbers for consecutive drawings. You can purchase tickets for up to multiple future drawings at once. This is great if you've got lucky numbers you play consistently.
The odds of hitting the Mega Millions jackpot are 1:290,472,336. That's tough, sure, but you've got 9 ways to win. Matching the lowest prize tier offers much better odds at 1:37.
Built-in Multiplier is an optional add-on that costs an extra $1.00 per play. It multiplies your non-jackpot winnings by 2x to 10x. The multiplier number is drawn separately right after the main drawing. Here's the catch: it doesn't multiply the jackpot. But for lower prize tiers, Built-in Multiplier can significantly boost your winnings, potentially multiplying them by up to 10x. That's a significant boost. You decide whether to add Built-in Multiplier when buying your ticket. Can't add it later.
Mega Millions is exclusive to USA. You'll need to be physically present in USA to buy tickets, either at a retail location or through a licensed courier service while you're in-state.
This is a state-specific game with its own unique rules and prize structure. Other states have similar games but different names and formats. Browse all USA lottery games to see what's available.
