Mega Millions tickets cost $1.00 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.
If you Win?
If you select the annuity option, which provides annual payments over a 26 year period, for every million dollars won, you will receive approximately $38,500 per year before taxes. You also have the option of a one-time, lump sum payment.
In addition to the jackpot, there are other prizes ranging from $2 to $250,000*.
