EACH PLAYCARD HAS FIVE GAME PANELS
Using a blue or black pen or pencil, fill in your choice of five numbers from 1 to 56 in the upper (pink shaded) section of a game panel and select one MEGA BALL number from 1 to 46 in the lower (white) section of the same game panel for each game you want to play. You can save time by choosing Quick Pick and letting the computer randomly select numbers for you.

HOW TO PLAY MEGAPLIER
Megaplier is a special feature that allows a winner to multiply the original prize amount. Megaplier players can multiply their Mega Millions prizes by 2, 3, or 4 times (does not include jackpot). The Match 5 prize with Megaplier option will always be multiplied by 4X for $1 million cash prize. The Megaplier number is picked at random before each draw. A player must choose the Megaplier option when they buy their Mega Millions ticket. Selecting the Megaplier option costs an additional $1 per game.
WHEN TO PLAY
You can try your luck seven days a week, 4:00 a.m. until terminals close at 3:30 a.m. or 10:45 p.m. on draw nights when the game closes. To avoid last minute lines, play early.
PLAY IN ADVANCE
You can play your same Mega Millions numbers for up to 13 weeks in advance! With the MULTI DRAWS option on the playcard, you have the ability to use your same numbers for up to 26 consecutive draws. Use this area on the playcard to select 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, or 26 consecutive draws. For a number of draws between 1 and 26 not listed, you cannot use a playcard. Ask your retailer to use the Quick Pick option or have your numbers entered manually into the Lottery terminal..
