How to play Mega Millions <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Mega Millions lottery began selling tickets in Ohio in 2002, and it’s been a popular lottery ever since. Playing is simple: just pick five numbers from 1 to 70<\/strong>, plus an additional number, called the Mega Ball, from 1 to 25.<\/strong> You can either pick your own numbers<\/strong> or let the machine pick them for you using the Quick Pick option<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use a Mega Millions Bet Card<\/strong>, which has five play areas and allows you to bet on up to 10 consecutive drawings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
