That's the annuity figure, and it's an estimate. The cash option is lower, and a jackpot gets split if more than one ticket matches. What a jackpot actually pays.

In California every prize is pari-mutuel by law, so these figures don't apply. A top prize shared by several winners is divided between them.
We hold 2550 drawings for this game, going back to May 2002.
The current number ranges took effect on 8 April 2025. Earlier drawings are kept for the record and never used to price a ticket, because the prize table was different then.

Questions about Mega Millions
- How does Mega Millions work?
- You pick 5 numbers from 1 to 70 and one Mega Ball from 1 to 24. Match all of them for the jackpot, with smaller prizes down to the Mega Ball alone. Drawn Tuesday and Friday.
- What time is the Mega Millions drawing?
- 11:00pm Eastern, Tuesday and Friday. Sales close before that, at a time set by your state.
- How many numbers do you need to win a prize on Mega Millions?
- The smallest win is just the Mega Ball, which pays $5. There are 9 ways to win. Without the Mega Ball, you need three numbers at $10.
- Does matching just the Mega Ball win anything?
- Yes. The Mega Ball on its own pays $5. One white number on its own pays nothing.
- What is the Mega Millions jackpot actually worth?
- Less than the advertised figure. It's paid out over decades, the cash option is usually about half, and it's split if more than one ticket wins.
- How do I check my Mega Millions numbers?
- Enter them on our Mega Millions checker, in any order. We'll show you which numbers matched and what the prize is.
- Does the Multiplier apply to every prize?
- It multiplies fixed prizes only, never the jackpot.
- Are Mega Millions prizes the same in every state?
- No. California sets its prizes after each drawing, based on sales and the number of winners, so the published amounts don't apply there.
- Did anyone win the Mega Millions jackpot last night?
- The table on this page shows it as soon as the figures are published: how many tickets took the jackpot, and how many won at every other level.
