Mega Millions lottery can be played in 43 states and Washington DC. It holds the record biggest jackpot in U.S. lottery history. Mega Millions uses a 5/70 (white balls) + 1/25 (Mega Balls) matrix from which winning numbers are chosen. Each play costs $1. In some states, players can choose to pay $1 extra to purchase the Megaplier option, which multiplies the original prizes 2 to 5 times but not jackpot. The overall odds of winning is about 1 to 14. The chances of matching all six Mega Millions numbers are 1 to 302,575,350. The minimum Mega Millions grand prize starts at $40,000,000. The annuity option is paid in 30 equal annual payments. Winners may select one lump sum cash payout option instead.
