How to pick Mega Millions winning numbers? Some people rely on luck and superstition, others pick their numbers randomly and let a machine do the work for them. Then there are those who use the numbers that come up most often in Mega Millions drawings. But what if we take it a step further? Instead of looking at the luckiest Mega Millions numbers in general, let’s break them down by state. Maybe each state has its own lucky numbers. Today we’re going to look at the most popular Mega Millions numbers drawn in Texas. These could be the key to winning the jackpot.
How To Win Mega Millions In Texas
To play Mega Millions in Texas, you have to pick five numbers from 1 to 70 and one Mega Ball number from 1 to 25. If all six of your numbers match with the drawn numbers, you’ll become the next Mega Millions’ winner in Texas!
The odds of hitting the jackpot are 1 in 302.6 million, but the jackpot isn’t the only prize you can win. This lottery game offers eight prize levels besides the jackpot, ranging from $2 to $1 million, depending on how many numbers you match.
Mega Millions Prize Breakdown:
- Match all 5 main numbers + Mega Ball: Jackpot
- Match all 5 main numbers: $1 million

Mega Millions drawings are held twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays, at 10:02 PM Central Time. Each Mega Millions ticket costs $2, and you can buy it at any authorized lottery retailer in Texas. Note that online lottery ticket sales are not allowed in Texas.
For an extra dollar, you can add the Megaplier feature. This option multiplies non-jackpot prizes, giving you a chance to increase your winnings up to 5 times. Imagine hitting the third prize of $10,000; with the Megaplier, you could win up to $50,000.
Texan players have another option called “Just the Jackpot.” Texas is one of the few states that offer this extra feature. With “Just the Jackpot,” you can buy two plays that are only eligible for winning the jackpot, giving you more chances to take home the big prize.
