Rules of the game
Understand, how the winner in MegaMillions is determined, not difficult.
How many balls in MegaMillions?
In the drawing - balls of two categories: the main (white, 70 pieces), additional (yellow, 25 pieces). The more balls the player managed to guess, the more he gets. In this case, the yellow ball has a strong influence on the winnings.
Below is a table with winning combinations, prizes and chances, that they will fall out:
| Guessed the main | Guessed additional | Prize, $ | Chance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 1 | Jackpot | 1:302’575’350 |
| 5 | 1’000’000 | 1:12’607’306 | |
| 4 | 1 | 10’000 | 1:931’001 |
| 4 | 500 | 1:38’792 | |
| 3 | 1 | 200 | 1:14’547 |
| 3 | 10 | 1:606 | |
| 2 | 1 | 10 | 1:693 |
| 1 | 4 | 1:89 | |
| 1 | 2 | 1:37 |
The chance to win at least some prize in the MegaMillions lottery is 1:24. Not so much, but at the same time, even the minimum reward fully returns the ticket price (it costs 5 dollars). And if you are a little more lucky and you manage to guess at least two balls (and one of them is yellow), then investments in the lottery will double.
How does the multiplier affect??
Players, who want to increase their winnings, can use the multiplier. If you buy a ticket with multiplication, then the probable prize rises to 2, 3, 4 or 5 time. The exact value of the multiplier varies from circulation to circulation and is set before the start of the drawing.
Here's how much you can win at MegaMillions, using the multiplier:
