The Mega Millions lottery is one of America’s major draws with its massive jackpots. To bet on this lottery, players simply have to choose five main numbers from 1 to 70 and one Mega Ball number from 1 to 25 to enter the drawings. Draws are held every Tuesday and Friday at 23.00 EST. All Mega Millions prizes, apart from the jackpot, have a fixed value; the only exception is in California, where non-jackpot Mega Millions prizes are pari-mutuel.
The minimum Mega Millions jackpot is $40 million and there is no maximum limit for the jackpot. There is the possibility that the jackpot rolls over, which means that it increases because it is not won by any of the players. Whenever this happens, the top Mega Millions prize will increase by a minimum of $5 million for the next drawing.
Mega Millions prizes can reach great amounts. In fact, the largest Mega Millions jackpot was an astounding $1.537 billion, which was won in October 2018. Other massive jackpots date back to March 2012 and December 2013, where three ticket holders shared a staggering prize of $656 million, and another two ticket holders shared the sum of $648 million respectively.

Players who choose the Just the Jackpot wager will only be eligible to win the jackpot prize, so they are only eligible for one of the nine tiers. Players cannot claim prizes in any of the other eight prize tiers, which range from $2 to $1 million. To enter Just the Jackpot, players can simply pick up a play slip from an authorized retailer and select their preferred numbers. In certain states, such as Wisconsin, players’ numbers will be generated by the terminal. For more information, players can ask their local lottery retailer or they can also contact their nearest lottery office.
