How to play Mega Millions
Mega Millions tickets are priced at $2 per play.

Players can pick six numbers from two separate pools of balls: one pool containing gold balls numbered 1-25 and another pool containing white balls numbered 1-70, with five different numbers.
If you can’t make up your mind, the Mega Millions website has a random number generator that allows you to either pick your lucky numbers yourself or use the Quick Pick or Easy Pick options to have the numbers auto-drawn for you.
What is the Megaplier?
Many states provide the Megaplier option, which enhances non-jackpot rewards by two, three, four, and fivefold.
It requires an extra $1 for each play.
The Megaplier is selected prior to each standard Mega Millions drawing. Five balls are designated with “2X,” three with “4X,” and one with “5X,” from a group of 15 balls.
