What is the price of a Mega Millions ticket?
Each Mega Millions ticket costs $2 per line. To participate, you need to pick six numbers from two separate pools: five distinct numbers ranging from 1 to 70 (drawn with white balls) and one number between 1 and 25 (the Golden Mega Ball).
Alternatively, you can opt for Easy Pick/Quick Pick, where the numbers are randomly generated. Matching all six numbers results in winning the jackpot, the amount of which is determined based on previous ticket sales and is announced before each draw.

Mega Millions offers a total of nine ways to win prizes, ranging from the jackpot to a refund of the ticket price. Additional game options like Power Play can be selected, increasing the ticket cost to $3.
In this option, you select a ball that, if successful, multiplies your prize by the number of times that ball appears, with a maximum multiplier of 10 times. Additionally, there are alternative game choices available at an extra cost.
When purchasing tickets online, the price is higher compared to buying them from a physical location. However, the online option offers the advantage of participating from anywhere in the world.
