Mega Millions Overview
Mega Millions, a multi-state lottery with huge payouts, is played in 45 states, DC, and the US Virgin Islands. Sales data before each drawing determine the lottery’s beginning jackpot, which grows with ticket sales. Six numbers are available: five from one to 70 (white balls) and one from one to 25 (gold Mega Ball). Players can choose numbers automatically with Easy Pick/Quick Pick. Mega Millions winners can share rewards, but those who match all six numbers win the jackpot.
Lottery play should be done cautiously as enthusiasm increases. Tickets are $2, but players should only participate if they can afford it.
