Mega Millions is a multi-state lottery and one of America’s two largest lottery jackpot games. Mega Millions jackpots start at $20 million and other prizes pay out with a megaplier ranging from $1 million to $2 million or more.

Mega Millions draws take place every Tuesday and Friday at 11pm ET. Five white balls are drawn from a set of balls numbered 1 through 70, while one yellow mega ball is drawn from balls numbered 1 through 25. You win if the numbers on your lottery ticket match the numbers of the balls drawn that day.

Mega Millions tickets are $2 per game. If nobody wins the jackpot prize, the money is added to the grand prize for the following draw.

Most states offer a Megaplier option, which costs an additional $1 per game and increases non-jackpot prizes by 2, 3, 4, or 5 times. Before each Mega Millions draw on Tuesdays and Fridays, the Megaplier is drawn from a pool of 15 balls. Five of these balls are marked 2X, six 3X, three 4X and one 5X.

The odds of winning a $2 Mega Millions ticket are 1 in 303 million. Visit the Mega Millions website for more information.

Powerball is the other multi-state lottery and also starts at $20 million. Its draws take place on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday evenings just after 11pm ET. Here is the Powerball website for more information or to check previous winning numbers.
