MegaMillions how to play

MEGA FUN!

Mega Millions jackpots start at $12 million. There are 9 ways to win and if you Megaply, you could win $1 million without even hitting the jackpot.

Ask the store clerk for a QP ticket or fill out a play slip. Each play slip has five boards. Each board costs $1. Each board contains two sets of numbers: one set from 1 through 56 and the second set from 1 through 46.
To play a board, pick five numbers from the set of 56 numbers, then pick one number (the Megaball®) from the set of 46 numbers. Place a heavy vertical mark through the numbers you wish to play. Do not use red ink and do not erase. If you make an error, mark the VOID box, and then make selections on another board.
Check the appropriate box for up to 15 multi-draws on a single ticket.
You may select Quick Pick (QP) and have the computer randomly pick the numbers for you. Either mark the QP option on the play slip for up to five boards and your desired multi-draw option or ask the store clerk for a QP ticket for up to 10 boards and your desired multi-draw option.

To multiply any prize won up to four times* (except the jackpot), mark the Megaplier™ box or tell the clerk you want the Megaplier™ option. This will double the total cost of your wager on all boards played.
Tickets cannot be cancelled after issued. You are responsible for the selection of your numbers and options, not the retailer nor the Lottery.
*The jackpot prize is not included in the Megaplier™ multiplier option.
