How to Play Mega Millions

Two Ways to Play

Pick five numbers from 1 to 70 or choose Quick Pick (QP) and the terminal will randomly pick numbers for you. Select one number from 1 to 24 or choose Quick Pick for the Mega Ball.

Never Miss a Drawing

Never miss a drawing by purchasing plays in up to 26 consecutive drawings at once, or 13 weeks in advance. Just check the Advance Play box on the Playslip and let the retailer know how many drawings you want to play. You will play the same numbers for all drawings.

More About Your Ticket

This is how your ticket will look once printed. When your ticket is printed, you will get your numbers, and a multiplier (2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X) will be shown on the ticket. Any non-jackpot prize will be multiplied by the multiplier. Your ticket will show your numbers and the range of draw dates for which it is eligible.

Check Your Winnings!

Here's what it will look like if you win. Winnings are represented in the payout table on the It's Easy to Play page of the Colorado Lottery website.
