How do I participate in Mega Millions?
The price per ticket is $2, but for an additional $1, you can add the Megaplier, which multiplies your potential prize up to five times (except for the windfall).
Each participant chooses five numbers between 1 and 70 for the white spheres and one number between 1 and 25 for the Mega Ball. Alternatively, you can have the lottery mechanism generate a Quick Pick at random. You are not required to be a U.S. citizen or a resident of a specific state to purchase a ticket.
How many balls must I match to win the Mega Millions jackpot?
You can win $2 for replicating the single Mega Ball. If you match all five white balls, you can receive up to one million dollars (except in California). Here, you can view all prize disbursements for the Mega Millions lottery.

The United States’ main lotteries offer two jackpot payout options: annuity and cash.
The annuity option provides periodic payouts. There is an initial payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase by 5% per year. The lump sum payout for the cash option is substantially less than the advertised jackpot. There is no need to wait decades for all of the money.
Can a jackpot recipient maintain their anonymity?
Some jurisdictions, such as New Jersey, allow lottery winners to remain anonymous. This was not always the case, but a law signed by Governor Phil Murphy now allows victors to remain anonymous. In other states, the winner’s identity and hometown are public information. Consult your state lottery for additional information.
