It began on August 31, 1996 as &#8220;The Big Game&#8221; with drawings held twice a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At that time, only six states &#8211; Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan and Virginia &#8211; could play. But that didn&#8217;t last long, because as Mega Millions grew in popularity, more states wanted in on the action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2002, the lottery was renamed Mega Millions, and states like New York, Ohio, and Washington joined the game. Today, <strong>Mega Millions is available in 45 states, plus the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why do people like <strong>playing Mega Millions<\/strong>? Well the answer is simple &#8211; the prizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/lottonia.com\/es\/blog\/what-is-the-mega-millions-jackpot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mega Millions jackpot<\/a> starts at $20 million<\/strong> and grows with each drawing that has no winner. The <strong>largest Mega Millions jackpot<\/strong> ever was won in Florida on August 8, 2023 and was a whopping <strong>$1.602 billion<\/strong>. It&#8217;s the thrid largest jackpot in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-step-by-step-guide-to-playing-mega-millions\">Step-by-step guide to playing Mega Millions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So <strong>how to play Mega Millions?<\/strong> Well, it&#8217;s really easy. You <strong>select 5 numbers from 1 to 70<\/strong> for the white balls and <strong>1 number from 1 to 25 for the Mega Ball<\/strong>. You can either pick your numbers manually or choose the Quick Pick option for random numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have your numbers, simply pay for your ticket and wait for the drawing. Each <strong>Mega Millions ticket costs $2<\/strong> and the <strong>drawings <\/strong>are every T<strong>uesday and Friday at 11pm E.T.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don&#8217;t even need to watch the drawing live &#8211; just <strong>use the <a href=\"https:\/\/lottonia.com\/es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lottonia App<\/a> to check if you&#8217;ve won the Mega Millions<\/strong>.

But don&#8217;t worry, that&#8217;s not the only juicy prize you can <strong>win with Mega Millions<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-much-can-you-win-when-you-play-mega-millions\">How much can you win when you play Mega Millions?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you <strong>play Mega Millions<\/strong>, you&#8217;re not just dreaming of <strong>hitting the jackpot<\/strong> &#8211; although that&#8217;s what we all hope for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> In addition to the Grand Prize, Mega Millions offers<strong> 8 different prize levels<\/strong>, ranging<strong> from $2 to $1 million<\/strong>, depending on how many numbers you match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, if you match 4 of the white ball numbers and the Mega Ball, you&#8217;ll win $10,000. Pretty cool, right? Your chances of winning this prize are 1 in 931,001. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Did you know that you can also <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lottonia.com\/es\/blog\/what-does-it-mean-if-you-get-the-mega-ball\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">win by just matching the Mega Ball<\/a><\/strong>? Your odds of winning a prize just by <strong>matching the Mega Ball <\/strong>are 1 in 37. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s a breakdown of all the <strong>Mega Millions prizes<\/strong> and your odds of winning each one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Match<\/strong><\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Prize<\/strong><\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Odds<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Five numbers + The Mega Ball<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Jackpot<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1 in 302,575,350<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Five numbers<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$1,000,000&nbsp;<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1 in 12,607,306<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Four numbers + The Mega Ball<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$10,000&nbsp;<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1 in 931,001<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Four numbers<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$500<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1 in 38,792<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Three numbers + The Mega Ball<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$200<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1 in 14,547<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Three numbers<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$10<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1 in 606<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Two numbers + The Mega Ball<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$10<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1 in 693<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">One number + The Mega Ball<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$4<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1 in 89<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">The Mega Ball<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">$2<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1 in 37<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mega Million Prizes and Odds<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.megamillions.com\/How-to-Play.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Me<\/strong><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.megamillions.com\/How-to-Play.aspx\"><strong>ga Millions official website<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-megaplier-and-how-does-it-increase-your-mega-millions-winnings\">What is the Megaplier and how does it increase your Mega Millions winnings?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But wait\u2026 there&#8217;s more! The prize amounts we&#8217;ve mentioned don&#8217;t have to be the final numbers. When you <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lottonia.com\/es\/blog\/what-is-the-mega-millions-megaplier\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">play with the Megaplier option<\/a><\/strong>, you can <strong>multiply your Mega Millions winnings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How, you ask?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Megaplier is a multiplier feature that can <strong>increase your non-jackpot prizes up to 5 times<\/strong>. Before each <strong>Mega Millions drawing<\/strong> on Tuesday and Friday nights, a Megaplier is drawn from a pool of 15 balls. The breakdown is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>5 balls marked 2X<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>6 balls marked 3X<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3 balls marked 4X<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 ball marked 5X<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on which number is drawn, your prize will be multiplied by this amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And here&#8217;s the thing &#8211; the <strong>Megaplier only applies to secondary prizes<\/strong>, not the jackpot. But let&#8217;s face it, the jackpot is already huge, so can you imagine multiplying it by 5?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To <strong>play Mega Millions with the Megaplier option<\/strong>, just check the Megaplier box on your ticket and<strong> pay an extra $1<\/strong>. But is it really worth it to play with the Megaplier?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;ve put together a table of Mega Millions prizes and multipliers so you can see for yourself if that extra dollar is worth it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><thead><tr><th><strong>Match<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Regular Prize<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>2X<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>3X<\/strong><\/th><th>4X<\/th><th><strong>5X<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>5 Numbers<\/td><td>$1,000,000<\/td><td>$2,000,000<\/td><td>$3,000,000<\/td><td>$4,000,000<\/td><td>$5,000,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>4 Numbers + Mega Ball<\/td><td>$10,000<\/td><td>$20,000<\/td><td>$30,000<\/td><td>$40,000<\/td><td>$50,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>4 Numbers<\/td><td>$500<\/td><td>$1,000<\/td><td>$1,500<\/td><td>$2,000<\/td><td>$2,500<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3 Numbers + Mega Ball<\/td><td>$200<\/td><td>$400<\/td><td>$600<\/td><td>$800<\/td><td>$1,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3 Numbers<\/td><td>$10<\/td><td>$20<\/td><td>$30<\/td><td>$40<\/td><td>$50<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2 Numers + Mega Ball<\/td><td>$10<\/td><td>$20<\/td><td>$30<\/td><td>$40<\/td><td>$50<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>1 Number + Mega Ball<\/td><td>$4<\/td><td>$8<\/td><td>$12<\/td><td>$16<\/td><td>$20<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Mega Ball<\/td><td>$2<\/td><td>$4<\/td><td>$6<\/td><td>$8<\/td><td>$10<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mega Millions Prizes with Megapier<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-play-the-just-the-jackpot-mega-millions\">How to play the Just the Jackpot Mega Millions?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First of all, what exactly is the <strong>Just the Jackpot option<\/strong> and how can it make your <strong>Mega Millions play<\/strong> more exciting?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just the Jackpot is an extra feature in Mega Millions that allows you to play for the jackpot only. This option <strong>costs an additional $1<\/strong>, bringing the total price of your ticket to $3. For that price, you get two jackpot-only plays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep in mind, however, that as the name implies, this option<strong> is jackpot or nothing<\/strong>. Even if you match some of the other prize numbers, you won&#8217;t win unless you hit the jackpot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, Just the Jackpot isn&#8217;t available in all participating states. Currently only 11 states offer this option. These states include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Georgia<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Indiana<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Kansas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Nebraska<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>New Jersey<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>New Mexico<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lottonia.com\/es\/blog\/new-york-mega-millions-playing-in-the-excelsior-state\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">New York<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lottonia.com\/es\/blog\/mega-millions-in-ohio-buckeye-state\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ohio<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lottonia.com\/es\/blog\/the-ultimate-guide-to-playing-mega-millions-lottery-in-texas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Texas<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Virgia<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wyoming<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-to-play-mega-millions\"><a><\/a><strong>Where to play Mega Millions? <\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Are you ready to play?<\/strong> Wait, before we go any further, let&#8217;s make sure you know in which states this lottery game is available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is a complete list of all the <strong>states where you can play Mega Millions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lottonia.com\/es\/blog\/arizona-mega-millions-lottery-how-to-play-and-win-big\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Arizona<\/a><\/strong>, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Colorado, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lottonia.com\/es\/blog\/kentucky-mega-million-lottery-how-does-it-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kentucky<\/a><\/strong>, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri and Montana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lottonia.com\/es\/blog\/new-york-mega-millions-playing-in-the-excelsior-state\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">New York<\/a><\/strong>, North Carolina, North Dakota, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lottonia.com\/es\/blog\/mega-millions-in-ohio-buckeye-state\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ohio<\/a><\/strong>, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lottonia.com\/es\/blog\/the-ultimate-guide-to-playing-mega-millions-lottery-in-texas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Texas<\/a><\/strong>, U.S. Virgin Islands, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-faqs\">FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-i-play-mega-millions-online\">Can I play Mega Millions online?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only 11 states currently allow players to buy and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lottonia.com\/es\/blog\/winning-the-lottery-online-is-it-possible\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">win Mega Millions tickets online<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-tourists-play-mega-millions\">Can tourists play Mega Millions? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Absolutely!
