How to play the Mega Millions

The Mega Millions is available for purchase in 45 states, including Michigan, along with Washington D.C. and the US Virgin Islands, making a total of 47 localities where tickets can be bought.

You have the option to purchase tickets from over 10,000 lottery retailers across the state. Additionally, you can conveniently acquire them through the Michigan Lottery website or the Michigan Lotto app.

For $2, you can purchase a Mega Millions ticket. Additionally, by paying an extra $1, you can include a Megaplier option. This Megaplier feature has the ability to multiply any prize, except for the jackpot, by the multiplier drawn for that specific night. The multipliers available are 2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x.

To fulfill the $5 minimum purchase requirement when buying tickets online through the Michigan Lottery, you must either purchase a minimum of two tickets with a Megaplier or three regular tickets.

Mega Millions jackpot is sixth over $1 billion

The likelihood of winning the Mega Millions jackpot remains constant at 1 in 302,575,350, irrespective of the jackpot amount ranging from $20 million to $1 billion, and regardless of the number of ticket buyers.

Therefore, it comes as no surprise that in 2022, there were two instances where jackpots reached record-breaking levels due to multiple drawings occurring without a winner.

In late July, the Mega Millions lottery prize skyrocketed to an astonishing $1.337 billion. However, all the excitement came to an end when a lucky individual from Illinois bought a single ticket and emerged as the fortunate winner.

In early November, the Powerball jackpot soared to an unprecedented amount of $2.04 billion, setting a new record in the US lottery. Remarkably, a sole ticket purchased in California won this colossal prize.

The ongoing streak marks the sixth occurrence in the history of the United States where a multi-state lottery jackpot has surpassed the remarkable threshold of $1 billion.
