How to Play Mega Millions

• Five numbers between 1 and 70 (white balls)

• One number between 1 and 24 (gold Mega Ball)

You may also select an Easy Pick/Quick Pick to have numbers chosen automatically.

What’s the Multiplier?

Mega Millions has eliminated the old Megaplier add-on.
A new built-in multiplier now increases all non-jackpot prizes by 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or 10x.
The multiplier is automatically included and randomly assigned for each ticket.
