Mega Millions players select five numbers from 1 to 70 for the standard white balls, then select one number from 1 to 25 for the yellow "Mega Ball." They can choose their own lucky numbers on a play slip or use the Quik Pik option to let a computer pick numbers for you.

To win, match one of the nine ways:

  • 5 white balls + 1 yellow Mega Ball = Grand prize.

  • 5 white balls = $1 million.

  • 4 white balls + 1 yellow Mega Ball = $10,000.

  • 4 white balls = $500.

  • 3 white balls + 1 yellow Mega Ball = $200.

  • 3 white balls = $10.

  • 2 white balls + 1 yellow Mega Ball = $10.

  • 1 white ball + 1 yellow Mega Ball = $4.

  • 1 yellow Mega Ball = $2.

There's a chance to have your winnings increased up to five times through the Megaplier for an additional $1 per play. Players can multiply non-jackpot wins up to 10 times when the jackpot is $150 million or less. All prizes are set cash amounts, except for the grand prize.

The Mega Millions costs $2 per play.
