Mega Millions is America's second-largest multi-state lottery, drawn Tuesday and Friday. Players select five numbers from 1 to 70 and one Mega Ball from 1 to 24. The game matrix changed in April 2025 from /25 to /24 Mega Ball options. Starting jackpots begin at US$50 million (raised from US$20 million in April 2025). Nine divisions reward winners. Built-in multiplier (2x–10x) increases non-jackpot prizes. Mega Millions tickets cost US$5 per game, raised from US$2 as of the 2025-04-08 draw.

Mega Millions requires selecting five numbers from 1 to 70 and one Mega Ball from 1 to 24. Tickets cost US$5 per game (raised from US$2 as of the 2025-04-08 draw). Draws occur Tuesday and Friday. Division 1 (all five numbers plus Mega Ball) wins the jackpot (minimum US$50 million). Nine divisions accommodate winners matching various combinations: five numbers without Mega Ball, four with Mega Ball, four without, three with/without, two with Mega Ball, one with Mega Ball, and Mega Ball alone. Multiplier (2x–10x) applies to non-jackpot prizes. A winning ticket is claimed in the state or jurisdiction where it was bought, through that jurisdiction's own lottery. Claim periods vary by jurisdiction, typically 90 days to a year from the draw date.
