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 jackpot have two options:

• Collect annuity payments - spread over 30 annual instalments - that grow by 5% each year.

• Choose the lump-sum cash option, which is significantly smaller but is paid up front.

Mega Millions prize combinations:

• 5 white balls + Mega Ball: Jackpot
