Current Jackpot: The jackpot is now a thrilling $20 million, which could change someone’s life forever.
Odds of Winning: The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 302.6 million, but with so many people playing, it’s bound to be won eventually—maybe by you!
How to Play: To play, choose five numbers between 1 and 70, plus one Mega Ball number between 1 and 25. Match all six numbers to win the jackpot.
Other Prize Tiers: Even if you don’t win the jackpot, there are other ways to win. For instance, matching five numbers (not including the Mega Ball) can earn you up to $1 million.
Drawing Schedule: Mega Millions drawings are held twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays at 11:00 p.m. ET. Be sure to get your ticket before the drawing!
Tax Considerations: Remember that your winnings will be taxed both federally and possibly by your state, which means the final payout will be lower than the advertised amount.
Nationwide Participation: Mega Millions is played in 44 states, Washington D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands, so millions of hopeful players are vying for the prize.
Check Your Ticket: If you’ve already bought a ticket, be sure to check your numbers! You can do so on the official Mega Millions website or at your local retailer.
