Mega Millions® tickets cost $1.00 per play. The Megaplier® option costs an additional $1 per play.

Players may pick six numbers from two separate pools of numbers - five different numbers from 1 to 56 and one number from 1 to 46 - or select Easy Pick. You win the jackpot by matching all six winning numbers in a drawing.

Megaplier is the $1 option per play where players can increase their non-jackpot prize winnings by 2, 3 or 4 times. Right before the Mega Millions drawing, the Megaplier is selected for that draw and any non-jackpot prizes won in Mega Millions are multiplied by the Megaplier selected. A player must choose the Megaplier option when they buy their Mega Milions ticket.

What if you win the Grand Prize?

Annuity option: Provides 26 annual payments.

Cash option: A one-time, lump-sum payment that is equal to all the cash in the Mega Millions jackpot prize pool.

In addition to the Grand Prize, there are other prizes ranging from $2 to $250,000*.
