Mega Millions is a world-famous lottery played across 45 states plus the District of Columbia and the US Virgin Islands. The only states that don’t participate are Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada and Utah.
Mega Millions draws are held twice weekly on Tuesdays and Fridays at 23:00 US Eastern Time.
Tickets cost $2.00 each.
To play Mega Millions, choose five numbers between 1 and 70 and a Mega Ball number between 1 and 25, or go for a Quick Pick for randomly generated numbers.
Players can activate the Mega Millions Megaplier for an additional $1.00 in most participating states, consisting of a Megaplier ball that is drawn before the main draw, which increases non-jackpot prizes by up to five times.

Mega Millions has a minimum guaranteed jackpot of $40 million, which was temporarily reduced to $20 million in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Mega Millions is a rollover lottery with no caps, with the jackpot increasing by a minimum of $5 million each time a rollover occurs.
The biggest winning Mega Millions jackpot was $1.537 billion on October 23, 2018! One lucky ticket holder won it and took the cash option for a lump sum of $877.8 million!
