Game Rules

How the Numbers Work

Each Mega Millions ticket consists of 5 white ball numbers chosen from 1 to 70, plus 1 gold Mega Ball number chosen from 1 to 25. To win the jackpot, all 6 numbers on your ticket must match the numbers drawn.

9 Ways to Win

You don't need to match all 6 numbers to win. There are 9 prize tiers in total — even matching just the Mega Ball wins you a prize. The overall odds of winning any prize are approximately 1 in 24. Check our Odds & Prizes page for the complete breakdown.

More Tickets, More Chances

Each ticket in your package is a unique combination of numbers, giving you a separate entry into the drawing. A package of 250 tickets means 250 independent chances to win across all 9 prize tiers — every single draw.
