For those unfamiliar with the game, purchasing a Mega Millions ticket grants you the opportunity to select six numbers. The first five are chosen from a range of 1 to 70 for the white balls, while the last number is selected from 1 to 25 for the coveted golden Mega Ball. If picking the numbers seems intimidating, you can always choose Easy Pick or Quick Pick, which generates random numbers for your ticket.
In select states, players have the option to add a Megaplier for an additional dollar, potentially increasing their non-jackpot winnings by 2, 3, 4, or even 5 times.
