Mega Millions is one of the most popular lottery games in the United States, offering massive jackpots that can reach hundreds of millions of dollars. Players purchase lottery tickets for a chance to win these life-changing prizes.

To play Mega Millions, you select five numbers from 1 to 70 and one Mega Ball number from 1 to 25. The jackpot is won by matching all six numbers drawn. Even if you don\“t hit the jackpot, there are multiple other prize tiers for matching fewer numbers.

Mega Millions drawings are held every Tuesday and Friday evening. Tickets can be purchased at authorized retailers in participating states until shortly before the drawing time. The cost per play is $2, with an optional Megaplier feature available for an additional $1 that can multiply non-jackpot prizes.

When someone wins the Mega Millions jackpot, they have the choice between taking the annuity option （payments over 29 years） or the cash option （a lump sum payment）. Both options are subject to federal and state taxes.

It\“s important to keep your lottery ticket in a safe place and sign the back of it immediately after purchase to establish ownership. Always check your numbers after each drawing, as unclaimed prizes eventually expire according to state regulations.
