Mega Millions tickets cost just two dollars, and participants can choose six numbers from two separate number pools: five different numbers from 1 to 70 (the white balls) and one number from 1 to 25 (the gold Mega Ball). The jackpot is won by matching all the numbers.

When checking the Mega Millions website, there are several things that will help you find out if you were the lucky winner. Until further notice, the initial jackpot will vary based on sales and will be announced prior to each drawing. There are a total of nine ways to win a prize in Mega Millions, ranging from the jackpot to two dollars.

Payment options if you win the jackpot

If you win the grand prize, you can choose how it will be paid: Cash Option or Annual Payment. Prize claim parameters vary from state to state. The Mega Millions annuity is paid as an immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments. Each payment is 5% higher than the previous one. This helps protect the lifestyle and purchasing power of winners in times of inflation.

For a typical $100 million jackpot, the starting payout would be approximately $1.5 million, with future annual payouts increasing to approximately $6.2 million. When the jackpot is $200 million, each payout is doubled. When the jackpot is $50 million, each payout is halved, etc.

Although most people can gamble without ill effects, there are some people for whom gambling of any kind can be addictive and very harmful. Like other addictions, gambling is a treatable disease. Twelve-step programs have proven to be particularly helpful.

All Mega Millions lotteries support and encourage the work of groups like Gamblers Anonymous and the National Council on Problem Gambling to combat gambling addiction and encourage responsible gambling. If you think you or a loved one may have a gambling addiction, or if you want more information, you can call the confidential 24-hour hotline.

After the exciting growth of the game in 1997, a Tuesday drawing was added in February 1998. Players were given a greater variety of numbers and a «cash pay» option in January 1999. In May 1999, New Jersey became the seventh member state. Filed As: January 21 Mega Millions Winning Numbers

Avoid scammers

«You have won the lottery!» It’s something a lot of people want to hear. But sometimes those words come from scammers trying to steal your money. Some of those scammers have falsely identified themselves as affiliates of Mega Millions. No Mega Millions representative would call, text or email anyone about winning a prize.

Scams take many forms and scammers use many tricks. Criminals can contact unsuspecting consumers via email, phone, mobile phone, or social media sites, and tell victims that they have won a grand prize, including cash, cars, or other property. Filed As: January 21 Mega Millions Winning Numbers

Tips to avoid being scammed

Here are some tips to avoid being a victim of scammers and be completely sure that you are actually the new winner. If someone says you have won a lottery that you’ve never played, be suspicious. You can’t win a legitimate lottery if you didn’t buy a ticket.

Remember that real lotteries don’t run international sweepstakes, contests, or prizes for people who live outside of their area. Mega Millions, for example, is played only in the United States, so if you are outside of the United States and someone using our name tells you that you have won a grand prize, it’s a scam.
