About Mega Millions
ALL ABOUT MEGA MILLIONS
The Mega Millions jackpot starts at $20 million and grows until it's won, often reaching hundreds of millions of dollars. To play, you choose five numbers from 1–70 plus one Mega Ball number from 1–25. Match all six numbers to win the jackpot!
Odds and Payouts
There are nine prize tiers, starting from $2 for matching just the Mega Ball to the jackpot for matching all five white balls plus the Mega Ball. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 302,575,350, making it one of the toughest but most rewarding lottery games.
Draw Times
Mega Millions drawings take place three times a week — every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 11:00 p.m. ET.
Megaplier Option
For an additional $1 per play, you can add the Megaplier feature. This multiplies non-jackpot prizes by 2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x, giving you more ways to boost your winnings.
