Frequently Asked Questions

How do Mega Millions jackpots grow?
When nobody matches all numbers, the top prize rolls over and ticket sales add to the pool. After a jackpot win, the advertised amount resets to the game's starting jackpot.
Is the advertised jackpot the cash you receive?
Usually the headline figure is the annuity value. Winners can often choose a smaller cash option. Both are before taxes. Confirm amounts with the official lottery.
Do larger Mega Millions jackpots improve the odds?
No. Odds stay the same on every drawing. Only the potential prize changes.
