To play Mega Millions, participants choose six numbers – five white ball numbers from a range of 1 to 70 and one golden Mega Ball number from 1 to 25. Players who prefer not to pick their own numbers can opt for Easy Pick or Quick Pick to have numbers randomly generated for their tickets. Additionally, in certain states, players can add a Megaplier for an extra dollar, potentially increasing non-jackpot winnings by up to five times.

$1.58 billion from a single winning ticket in Florida in August 2023.
$1.537 billion from one winning ticket in South Carolina in October 2018.
