How to play the Mega Millions
When purchasing a Mega Millions ticket, you have the opportunity to select six numbers. The first five will be chosen from a range of 1 to 70 for the white balls, and the last number will be chosen from 1 to 25 for the coveted golden Mega Ball. For those who find it daunting to pick their own numbers, the option to select Easy Pick or Quick Pick is available, which will generate the numbers for your ticket at random.
When playing in certain states, you can choose to add a Megaplier for an additional dollar. This decision could potentially increase your non-jackpot winnings by a factor of 2, 3, 4, or even 5 times.
What is the largest Mega Millions jackpot ever?
Here are the top five Mega Millions jackpots:
- $1.58 billion from one winning ticket in Florida in August 2023.
- $1.537 billion from one winning ticket in South Carolina in October 2018.
- $1.348 billion from one winning ticket in Maine in January 2023.
- $1.337 billion from one winning ticket in Illinois in July 2022.
