Frequently Asked Questions: Mega Millions
How do I play Mega Millions?
To purchase a ticket in person, you can either ask for a Quick Pick (or Easy Pick), where the terminal randomly generates your numbers, or select your own numbers. The cashier will also ask if you’d like to add the Megaplier for an extra $1 per play—this multiplies any non-jackpot winnings by 2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x.
What do I need to win a prize?
Mega Millions offers nine prize tiers, ranging from $2 (for matching just the Mega Ball) up to the full jackpot (matching all five white balls plus the Mega Ball).
Some states offer a Just the Jackpot option: For $3, you get two plays eligible only for the jackpot. These tickets do not qualify for any other prize levels.
How much do Mega Millions tickets cost?
A standard ticket costs $2 per play.
In most states, you can add the Megaplier for an additional $1 per play, which can increase non-jackpot prizes by 2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x. The Megaplier number is drawn separately before each regular drawing from a pool of 15 balls (five 2X, six 3X, three 4X, and one 5X).
Payment methods vary by state: 23 states allow credit card purchases, while others accept only cash, debit cards, or other forms. Check your local lottery rules for details.
When are Mega Millions drawings held?
Drawings take place every Tuesday and Friday.
What time is the drawing?
The drawing occurs at 11:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET). Ticket sales typically close about 15 minutes before the draw (exact cutoff varies by jurisdiction).
Where can I buy Mega Millions tickets?
Tickets are available in person at gas stations, convenience stores, grocery stores, and some airport terminals.
You can also buy tickets online through Jackpocket (the official digital lottery courier of the USA TODAY Network) in these states and areas: Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, Washington D.C., and West Virginia.
