Mega Millions: How to play

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 recouping your initial buy-in to landing 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 a choice:

• Receive their money in annuity payments: 30 annual instalments that grow each year.

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

Mega Millions prize combinations:

• 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
• 3 white balls + Mega Ball: $400-$2,000
• 3 white balls: $20-$100
• 2 white balls + Mega Ball: $20-$100
• 1 white balls + Mega Ball: $14-$70
• Mega Ball: $10-$50

In Tuesday’s Mega Millions drawing, one ticket - bought in New York - matched five white balls to earn a $4 million prize. Check out all the non-jackpot amounts that were won.
