    What happens if I win the jackpot?

    A jackpot winner has the option of receiving an annuity or cash payment.

    The annuity is paid out as one immediate payment, followed by 29 annual payments, according to the Mega Millions website. Each payment is 5% larger than the previous one.

    “This helps protect winners’ lifestyles and purchasing power during periods of inflation,” according to the Mega Millions website.

    The cash option is a one-time lump sum payment equal to all the money in the Mega Millions jackpot prize pool.

    If two or more people win the jackpot in the same draw, the money is divided equally among all winning tickets.

    How do you play the Mega Millions?

    To purchase a ticket, you’ll need to go to your local convenience store, gas station, or grocery store – and in a handful of states you can purchase tickets online.

    To play you must choose six numbers. Five numbers are white balls ranging from 1 to 70. The gold Mega Ball is one number between 1 and 25.

    If you think the odds are against you, ask for a “Quick Pick” or an “Easy Pick.” The computer will randomly generate the numbers for you.

    Players can add the “Megaplier” for $1, which can increase non-top prize winnings by two, three, four or five times. The Megaplier is drawn on Tuesdays and Fridays before the Mega Millions numbers.

    There are 15 Megapiler balls in total:

    2X, five balls

    3X, six balls

    4X, three balls

    5X, one ball
