There are several ways to attain a Mega Millions ticket. View below:

Once you decide where you’re going to purchase your ticket(s), it’s time to decide whether you’re going to choose your own numbers or allow the terminal to randomly select them for you using the Quick pick tool.
If you choose your own, you’ll need to pick five numbers from 1 to 70 and one number from 1 to 25, which will be your Mega Ball selection.
Standard Mega Millions tickets cost $2 a piece, but you always have the option of playing the Megaplier add-on feature for an additional $1 per ticket. Playing the Megaplier grants you the chance to multiply any non-jackpot prize that you may possibly win.
A number from 2 to 5 will be drawn just prior to the regular numbers drawing—this is the Megaplier. Check out how the feature affects prizes below:
