How much does a Mega Millions ticket cost?
Each Mega Millions line costs $2. To play, you must choose six numbers from two separate number pools: five different numbers between 1 and 70 (which are drawn with white balls) and a number from 1 to 25 (which is the Golden Mega Ball). You can also select Easy Pick/Quick Pick.
If you match all six numbers, you win the jackpot.
The jackpot is determined based on previous ticket sales and is announced before each draw.
There are a total of nine ways to win a prize in Mega Millions, ranging from the jackpot to redeeming the purchased ticket. For that, you can include other game alternatives such as Power Play, which increases the cost of the ticket to 3 dollars.
In this option, you choose a ball which, if it wins, multiplies your prize by the number of times it appears in that ball, with a maximum of 10 times. There is also the possibility of choosing different game options, with an additional cost.
If you buy the ticket online the price is higher than when you buy it in a fixed establishment, but it gives you the advantage of participating from anywhere in the world.
