How to Play Mega Millions

To purchase a Mega Millions ticket, one must visit a local convenience store, gas station, or grocery store. In certain states, tickets can also be purchased online.

To participate in Mega Millions, players must select six numbers. Five of these numbers, known as the white balls, range from 1 to 70. The gold Mega Ball is a single number between 1 and 25.

For those who believe the odds are unfavorable, a "Quick Pick" or "Easy Pick" option is available, where the computer randomly generates the numbers.

Participants can opt to add the "Megaplier" for an additional $1, which can multiply non-jackpot winnings by two, three, four, or five times. The Megaplier number is drawn before the Mega Millions numbers on Tuesday and Friday.

There are 15 Megaplier balls in total:

2X: five balls
3X: six balls
4X: three balls
5X: one ball
