Mega Millions drawings are held 2 times a week every Tuesday and Friday at 7:59 p.m. Pacific Time. To play, choose 5 numbers from a set of 70 and choose 1 Mega Ball number from a set of 25. Each play costs $1. In some states, players can choose to spend 1 extra dollar to purchase the Megaplier option, which multiplies the prizes 2 to 5 times except jackpot. The minimum Mega Millions jackpot is $40,000,000. Its annuity option is paid in 30 equal yearly payments. Winners may choose one lump sum cash payout option instead.
