How to play Mega Millions
To purchase a ticket, you’ll need to go to your local convenience store, gas station, or grocery store, or in some states, you can purchase tickets online.
To play, you need to select six numbers: five white balls that range from 1 to 70; and a golden Mega Ball that is a single number between 1 and 25.
If you think your chances are slim, request a “Quick Pick” or “Easy Pick” and the computer will generate the numbers randomly.
For $1, players can add a “Megaplier,” which increases any non-jackpot prize by 2x, 3x, 4x or 5x. The Megaplier is drawn before the Mega Millions numbers on Tuesdays and Fridays.
There are a total of 15 Mega Pylar Balls.
- 2 times5 balls
