How the game works

Pick from two separate number pools.

A play uses 5 main numbers from 1–70 and one Mega Ball from 1–24. The Mega Ball is drawn separately and is never combined with main-number statistics.

Multiplier
Included with each play

Every current ticket receives a randomly assigned multiplier. It changes eligible non-jackpot payouts, not the chance of matching the drawn numbers. See complete rules, prizes, and odds.

Rules, prizes, and odds

Match probability and payouts are different questions.

The jackpot requires all five main numbers plus the separate Mega Ball. There are nine advertised winning tiers, while multiplier treatment and jurisdiction exceptions affect eligible payouts.

Mega Millions multiplier

The current $5 play includes a randomly assigned 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X multiplier. It does not change match probability.

  • A drawing is never “due” because of an earlier result.
  • Lower prize tiers occur more often than the jackpot.
  • Advertised prize treatment can vary by jurisdiction.
