How to participate in a Mega Millions draw?
In Mega Millions you must select up to six numbers: five from 1 to 70 for the white balls and one number from 1 to 25 for the golden Mega Ball.
If you match all six numbers you win the jackpot of the day.
How to get your cash prize?
If you win the jackpot, you must contact the main lottery office in the state where you purchased the ticket. They will give you an appointment to begin the necessary procedures to collect your winnings.
The Mega Millions jackpot can be collected in two ways:
-Annuity: An immediate payment is made, followed by 29 more annual payments. Each payment is 5% higher than the previous one to counteract inflation.
-Cash: A single lump sum of cash corresponding to the available jackpot fund. You can claim your prize between 90 days and one year from the date of the draw, depending on the provisions for each state.
If your prize is less than $600, you can claim it at any authorized retailer in each state. Prizes over that amount must be claimed at the local district office or state lottery headquarters, as appropriate.
