How to play, deadlines and prize options

Players select five white balls from 1 to 70 and one Mega Ball from 1 to 25, or they can choose a Quick Pick for random numbers. A built-in multiplier is now included with every play; it can increase non-jackpot prizes by two, three, four, five or 10 times. Jackpot winners may choose an annuity paid as one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that grow 5% each year, or a lump-sum cash option. In Michigan, in-store and online ticket sales close at 10: 45 p. m. ET on the night of the draw; deadlines vary by state elsewhere.

Odds, secondary prizes and how winnings are shared

The odds of matching all five white balls plus the Mega Ball for the jackpot are 1 in 290, 472, 336. There are several secondary prize tiers, including a Match 5 white-ball prize and numerous prizes below $1 million; certain Match 5 payouts may vary depending on game rules and add-ons. If multiple tickets win the jackpot in the same drawing, the prize pool is split equally among winning tickets.

Where to find results and watch drawings

Drawings are held every Tuesday and Friday at 11 p. m. ET. Official winning numbers are posted on the Mega Millions website and on state lottery websites after each drawing. Players should verify tickets with their state lottery for claim procedures, deadlines and how prizes are paid out.

This outcome means there is no mega millions jackpot winner for the Feb. 13 drawing; the race for the top prize resumes on Tuesday night.
