For those looking to try their luck, purchasing a Mega Millions ticket is simple. Tickets are available at local convenience stores, gas stations, and grocery stores. Additionally, in some states, tickets can be bought online. To play, one must pick six numbers: five white balls ranging from 1 to 70, and one gold Mega Ball number between 1 and 25.
For those who prefer not to select their own numbers, a “Quick Pick” or “Easy Pick” allows the computer to randomly generate numbers. Players have the option to add the “Megaplier” for an additional $1, which can multiply non-grand prize winnings by two, three, four, or five times. The Megaplier is drawn before the Mega Millions numbers on Tuesday and Friday nights.
Lottery tickets can be purchased in person at various locations including gas stations, convenience stores, grocery stores, and even some airport terminals. In select states and territories such as Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Texas, Washington, D.C., and West Virginia, tickets can also be ordered online through the Jackpocket app. This app allows users to pick their lottery game and numbers, place orders, see tickets, and collect winnings—all from their phone or home computer.
