Mega Millions Reaches 1.25$ Billion! – No Winners Since April

Nobody has been able to guess the right lottery winning numbers ever since April of this year. This allowed the Mega Millions to reach a whooping 1.25$ billion, making it the fourth largest lottery drawing in history!

How to Participate in Mega Millions

Participating in the Mega Millions is easy and exciting! All it takes is a $2 ticket per play to get started. The odds are highly in your favor as you have nine chances to win a prize!

Essentially, here’s how it works: Choose five numbers from 1 to 70. You’ll also get the chance to pick one Mega Ball number. This ranges from 1 to 25. The six-number combination that you choose holds the key to hitting the jackpot.

If you’re having trouble choosing numbers, don’t fret! You can choose the Easy or Quick Pick options, where the lottery terminal will choose the numbers for you. Pretty handy, right?

Remember that the ultimate goal is to hit a jackpot and this can only be done if you match all six winning numbers!
