How much does a Mega Millions ticket cost?
To participate in Mega Millions, each line costs $2. To play, you need to pick six numbers from two separate sets: five distinct numbers ranging from 1 to 70 (drawn with white balls) and one number from 1 to 25 (the Golden Mega Ball).
You also have the option of using Easy Pick/Quick Pick for randomly generated numbers. If you match all six digits, you win the jackpot, the value of which is determined based on previous ticket sales and is announced before each draw.
Mega Millions drawings take place on Tuesdays and Fridays across 45 states, along with Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
There are nine ways to win in Mega Millions, ranging from the jackpot to a refund of the ticket cost. Additional game options, like Power Play, can be included for an extra $1, raising the ticket price to $3. With Power Play, you select a ball that, if drawn, multiplies your prize by the number on that ball, up to 10 times. Different game options are available at an additional cost.
Online ticket purchases come at a higher price compared to buying from a physical location, but they offer the advantage of participating from anywhere in the world.
