Mega Millions costs $5 to play.
Player can pick six numbers from two separate pools of numbers — five different numbers from 1 to 70 (the white balls) and one number from 1 to 24 (the gold Mega Mall). Players can also select the Easy Pick/Quick pick option.
Mega Millions retired its Megaplier feature and now has a built-in multiplier that increases non-jackpot prizes by two, three, four, five or 10 times. The multiplier is automatically included and randomly assigned for every play at the time of purchase.
The odds of matching the five white balls and Mega Ball to win the Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 290,472,336.
You can watch Mega Millions drawing on YouTube. The winning numbers are also posted to the Mega Millions website and on the Michigan Lottery website.
A jackpot winner has the option of taking an annuity or cash payment.
The annuity is paid out as one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments, according to the Mega Millions website. Each payment is 5% bigger than the previous one.
“This helps protect winners’ lifestyle and purchasing power in periods of inflation,” according to the Mega Millions website.
The cash option is a one-time, lump-sum payment that is equal to all the cash in the Mega Millions jackpot prize pool.
If two or more people win the jackpot in the same drawing, the money is shared equally among all winning tickets.

TAMPA, Fla. — Tampa Code Enforcement Director Keith O’Connor has been fired after a Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) investigation revealed he cashed a $20,000 lottery ticket for an employee, Aubrey Pierce, to avoid Pierce’s winnings being seized for unpaid child support.
The issue surfaced during a Tampa Police investigation into Pierce, who was arrested in August on bribery, hazardous waste disposal and grand theft charges tied to illegal dumping.
While investigating Pierce, detectives found text messages between him and O’Connor about the lottery ticket and quickly referred the case to FDLE.
FDLE closed the case and prosecutors declined to file charges, but city leaders said O’Connor’s actions violated standards of professionalism and integrity.
Pierce remains suspended pending a disciplinary hearing.
