Play Mega Millions

Getting your tickets

You can ask for a Mega Millions playslip at any authorized Florida Lottery retailer. Each play costs $5 each. Next, pick five numbers between 1 and 70 and a Mega Ball from 1 to 24 (this can be the same as one of your main balls).

No inspiration? You can ask the lottery clerk for a Quick Pick ticket, and the computer will randomly generate a set of numbers for you. If you prefer, you can use the online version of a Quick Pick ticket and try out the Mega Millions random Number Generator.

Advanced Play

You are able to play Mega Millions using the same set of numbers for multiple drawings, saving time if you play the same numbers regularly. In Florida, you can enter up to 26 consecutive drawings. If you only want to play one draw, leave this section of your playslip blank.

How to Win

You win Mega Millions prizes by matching the numbers you pick to the numbers that are drawn. You are guaranteed a prize as long as you match the Mega Ball, even if you don’t get any of the five main numbers. In total, there are nine different ways to win. Head over to the Odds and Prizes page to see a full payout chart.

Multiplier

Every line of numbers you purchase will be accomponied by a random multiplier. This multiplies each prize you win by either 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x or 10x. Below are the odds of each ball being drawn:

  • 2X Multiplier - 1 in 2.3 chance
  • 3X Multiplier - 1 in 3.2 chance
  • 4X Multiplier - 1 in 8 chance
  • 5X Multiplier - 1 in 16 chance
  • 10X Multiplier - 1 in 32 chance
