How to play Mega Millions

A single Mega Millions ticket costs $5. To play, select five numbers between 1 and 70 for the white balls, and one number from 1 to 24 for the gold Mega Ball. There are nine ways to win a prize, ranging from recovering your initial buy-in to the jackpot. For non-jackpot prizes, players are randomly assigned a multiplier, which can increase their prize up to 10-fold, at no extra cost.

Winners of the grand prize have two options:

• An annuity payment spread over 30 annual instalments that grow 5% each year.

• A lump-sum cash option, which is smaller by less than half but paid all at once.

Every Mega Millions prize combination:

• 5 white balls + Mega Ball: Jackpot
• 5 white balls: $2 million-$10 million
• 4 white balls + Mega Ball: $20,000-$100,000
• 4 white balls: $1,000-$5,000
