HOW TO PLAY MEGA MILLIONS
Pick Your Number of Plays
Each playslip has five Play Areas (A–E) with boxes numbered 1–70 in the upper white Play Area and 1–25 in the lower shaded Play Area. You can play a single set of numbers (A) or up to five sets (A–E), with each play costing $2.00.
Pick Your Numbers
Choose any five numbers 1–70 and one MEGA BALL number 1–25 in each Play Area, or mark the Quick Pick (QP) box on your playslip to let the computer choose for you.
Play Multiple Drawings
Mark the appropriate Multi-Draw box to play your chosen numbers for up to 10 consecutive drawings (including the current drawing).
Add Megaplier
For an additional $1.00 per play, add Megaplier to your playslip. See below for details on how you could multiply your winnings by adding this feature.

How Megaplier Works
Before MEGA MILLIONS numbers are drawn, a Megaplier number (2, 3, 4 or 5) is randomly selected. If you win any non-jackpot prize, your regular prize amount will be multiplied by the Megaplier number drawn. For example, if you've added Megaplier to your ticket and match all five white balls and the Megaplier number drawn is 5, you win $5 million!
Adding Megaplier to your ticket is an additional $1.00 per play, totaling $3.00 per play. Example: If you fill in all five Play Areas (A–E) on the playslip, select Megaplier and choose three under Multi-Draw, your cost would be 5 (Play Areas) x $3.00 (plays with Megaplier) x 3 (number of draws) = $45.00.
