About Mega Millions
Mega Millions is one of United States's most popular lottery games, offering players the chance to win life-changing jackpots. To play, simply choose 5 numbers from a pool of 1 to 70, plus one bonus number from 1 to 25. The more numbers you match, the bigger your prize!
Draws take place regularly on Tuesday and Friday, giving you multiple chances each week to become the next big winner. Each draw offers fresh opportunities and the jackpot continues to grow until someone wins.

Bonus Number
Choose one additional bonus number from 1 to 25to increase your chances of winning secondary prizes. The bonus number is drawn separately from the main numbers.
Check Results
After each draw, compare your numbers with the winning combination. Even partial matches can win prizes! Use our results checker to see if you're a winner.
Claim Your Prize
Winners have a limited time to claim their prizes. Smaller prizes can often be claimed at retailers, while larger prizes require a visit to a lottery office. Always check the official rules for claiming procedures.
While lottery games are based on chance, smart players use various strategies to make informed choices. Our Smart Picker analyzes historical data, number frequencies, and patterns to help you make more strategic selections.
Hot Numbers
Numbers that have been drawn frequently in recent draws. Some players believe these numbers have a higher chance of being drawn again.
Balanced Selection
Mix high and low numbers, odd and even numbers for a balanced ticket. This approach covers more of the number spectrum.
Avoid Patterns
Avoid obvious patterns like consecutive numbers or all numbers from the same decade, as these are less likely to occur.
Mega Millions offers multiple prize tiers, meaning you can win by matching just a few numbers. While the jackpot requires matching all main numbers and the bonus number, there are several ways to win smaller prizes.
Tip: The odds of winning any prize are much better than winning the jackpot. Even matching 2 or 3 numbers can result in a prize, making every ticket a potential winner!
