Michigan Lottery players can buy Mega Millions tickets online through our link. The current jackpot is at $52 million.
The next drawing is Friday at 11 p.m. ET. Mega Millions drawings take place every Tuesday and Friday at the same time. The jackpot rises every time a drawing yields no winner.
Mega Millions is very easy to play. Players must select six numbers: five of them are white ball numbers between 1 and 70 (no repeats allowed) and a single gold Mega Ball number between 1 and 25.
One group of those six digits is called a “line,” which is just another word for an entry. Players can buy multiple lines at once, each with different numbers.
Matching all five white balls and the Mega Ball wins the jackpot.
Megaplier is an add-on you can purchase for $1 per line. Megaplier multiplies any non-jackpot winnings by up to 5x, depending on which Megaplier ball is drawn.
The odds of winning the jackpot for any given Mega Millions drawing are 1 in 302,575,350.
Yes. Playing Mega Millions gives you overall odds of 1 in 24. The lowest prize is $2, which you get if you match just the Mega Ball number.
Matching 5 white balls without the Mega Ball wins you $1 million, and there are various other prizes below that level.
Players lucky enough to win the jackpot have two options: a 30-year annuity with increasing payments or a lump sum payment.
The lump sum amount is an instant payment, but it is typically about half of the advertised jackpot amount while the annuity is the full amount. Both options are paid out before taxes.
