Play Mega Millions
If you want to play with more clarity, take a minute to read Quick Pick vs choosing your own numbers. If you are still deciding whether this draw suits you, how to choose the right lottery for you can help you narrow the field before you enter.
How do you play Mega Millions?
Mega Millions is a "two-part" ticket: choose 5 main numbers and 1 Mega Ball. Pick manually or use Quick pick, add multiple tickets, then checkout.
- Main: 5 numbers from 1–70
- Mega Ball: 1 number from 1–25
