How to Play Details!

• Multi-Bet Slip
  This betting slip allows you to make from one to three $1 bets by picking five (5) out of fifty-six (56) numbers and one (1) out of forty-six numbers in each of the one to three betting panels on the reverse side of the slip.
  
  
• $1.00 Per Play
  Each playslip allows you to play up to 3 PLAYS at $1.00 per play.
  
  
• Cash Option
  Approximately 50% of the amount of money wagered on each drawing goes into the prize pool. Jackpot winners have 60 days beginning the day after the winning numbers
  were drawn to select a payment option. An Annuity Option means winners can choose equal annual payments over a twenty-six (26) year period. A Cash Option means winners can choose a one-time cash payment which will be (approximately) the cost of the annuity divided by the number of winning tickets. If a winner fails to claim the jackpot and select a jackpot payment option within 60 days, the prize will be automatically paid as an annuity. All prizes must be claimed within one year of the drawing.

Checking your Numbers!
Mega Millions drawings are held Tuesday and Friday at 11:00 p.m.. Five balls will be drawn from 1 to 56 and one ball will be drawn from 1 to 46. You win if the numbers on one row of your ticket match the numbers of the balls drawn on that date. There are nine ways to win a prize, from $2 to the jackpot. If no one wins the jackpot, the money is added to the jackpot for the next drawing. Overall chances of winning a prize are 1 in 40.
