The Mega Millions jackpot will vary based on sales and announced before each drawing.
There are 9 ways to win a prize. As mentioned, matching all five white balls in any order and picking the correct gold Mega ball wins the jackpot.
If you correctly pick all five white balls but miss the gold Mega ball, you win $1 million and can win up to $5 million depending on the Megaplier, which is 2x through 5x.
Getting just the Mega ball right wins $2 multiplied by the Megaplier. (See: Mega Millions prize chart).
WHAT IS THE MEGAPLIER?
An additional $1 per play activates the Megaplier, which multiplies prizes by 2, 3, 4 and 5 times.
The Megaplier is randomly selected before each drawing.

New York Islanders buy $50,000 worth of Mega Millions lottery tickets as jackpot reaches $1.2 billion
Islanders fans have 25,000 reasons to pay attention to the next drawing
The Mega Millions jackpot is up to $1.2 billion and everyone wants a piece of the pie. Everyone, including the New York Islanders, which purchased $50,000 in tickets, the team announced.
Why $50,000? Apparently, the figure is in honor of the team’s 50th anniversary. Per Newsday’s Andrew Gross:
“As we prepare for our historic 50th anniversary season, we want to show our appreciation for our Islanders’ season ticket members and staff and give them a chance to participate in this massive Mega Millions drawing,” Islanders co-owner Jon Ledecky said in a statement. “Revenue from lottery tickets is dedicated to education in New York state, so no matter what happens in today’s historic drawing, important funds have been generated for education in the state, which supports our fan base and their families.”
The $50,000 equates to 25,000 entries and the potential prize money would be split evenly between the team’s full-season ticket holders, suite holders, staff and the Islanders’ Children’s Foundation — but only for earnings above $250,000. Anything below will go solely to the foundation.
As it stands, there will be many Islanders faithful paying extra attention to the lottery. Maybe it’ll set the tone for New York’s upcoming NHL season.

Powerball and Mega Millions: The 16 largest jackpots in American lottery history
These payouts are unreal!
The Mega Millions jackpot just jumped to $600 million
My goodness.
Yes, you did read that correctly. The Mega Millions just jumped again. This time, it’s up to $600 million.
No one won the $520 million jackpot this week so the prize climbed again for next Tuesday’s upcoming drawing, according to CNBC, so it jumped up to $600 million with the winner’s cash option amount landing at $442 million.
Though this jackpot is pretty massive, this is only the 8th highest jackpot in the history of the lottery. The biggest one came back in 2016 when the winner won a $1.58 billion (!!!!) Powerball jackpot that was ultimately split between three winners.
The taxes on the winnings can get pretty crazy, according to CNBC. Look at this.
“For the $600 million Mega Millions jackpot, the cash option — which most winners choose instead of an annuity — is $442.4 million. The 24% withholding would shave about $106.2 million off before the prize reaches you.”
Sheesh. That is what it is, though. That’s still a whooooole lot of money.
As far as your chances, though? I wouldn’t hold my breath. The chances of actually hitting the entire Mega Millions jackpot is 1 in 302 million, per CNBC. You have a better chance of getting struck by lightning at 1 in 500,000.
Still. Worth a shot! You never know, fam. You never know.
