Checking your Numbers!
Mega Millions drawings occur on Tuesdays and Fridays at 11:00 p.m. and air on NJN. 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.
