Select Your Numbers

Choose five main numbers from 1 to 70, and a Mega Ball from a separate set between 1 and 25. If you would rather get a random set, just as for an Easy Pick.

Decide on Megaplier

Add the Megaplier option to increase any non-jackpot prizes you might win by up to five times their original value.

Play Multiple Draws

Decide how many consecutive drawings to enter, up to a maximum of 30.

Purchase Your Tickets

A single play costs $2, while the Megaplier is an additional $1. If you have an old ticket, you can also ask the retailer for a ‘Replay’. This reuses all the selections from the original ticket, starting with the next available draw. The only stipulation is that tickets must be replayed within 31 days.

You can play online in Michigan or by visiting an authorized lottery retailer. Ticket sales cut off at 10:45 PM ET on draw nights - Tuesdays and Fridays - with the numbers drawn at 11:00 PM ET.

How to Win Prizes

To win the jackpot, you need to match all the numbers that are drawn. There are also other prizes available for matching fewer numbers, even if you just get the Mega Ball and none of the first five!

If you add the Megaplier, any non-jackpot prizes you win will be increased. The multiplier to be used, 2x, 3x, 4x or 5x, is determined by its own separate draw. Go to the Odds and Prizes page to find out all about Mega Millions payouts.
