How To Play
Leave it all up to luck and ask for a Mega Millions quick pick or choose your own numbers. Pick five numbers from 1–70 and one Mega Ball number from 1–25.
There are nine ways to win, starting with $2 for matching just the Mega Ball. Match the first five numbers plus the Mega Ball to win the jackpot.
Jackpots start at $20 million and keep growing until someone wins. Jackpot winners may choose to receive their prize as an annuity, paid in 30 graduated payments over 29 years, or a lump-sum payment.
The cost per play is $2. For an additional $1 per play, you may purchase the Megaplier feature to increase non-jackpot prizes by 2, 3, 4 or 5 times.
Multi-draw Tickets: You can purchase a ticket good for up to 14 draws at your favorite retailer. If you choose to play more than one draw, your ticket will include a drawing date range instead of a single drawing date.

The Minnesota Lottery attempts to ensure that the winning numbers and jackpot amounts are posted correctly. However, posted numbers are unofficial. The only official source for verifying winning numbers on a player’s ticket is through the Minnesota Lottery’s central computer system. To confirm that a ticket is a winner, please have the ticket validated through a sales terminal at any Minnesota Lottery retailer.
