The Mega Millions jackpot has reached $542 million with a cash value of $242 million ahead of the Friday, July 3 drawing.
How to Play
To play the Mega Millions, you must buy a ticket for $5 and pick six numbers: five white balls numbered from 1 to 70 and one gold Mega Ball numbered from 1 to 24.
Players can also use the Easy Pick or Quick Pick option to have the computer randomly generate numbers.
Mega Millions tickets now include a built-in multiplier that increases non-jackpot prizes by two, three, four, five, or 10 times.
Recent Winners
The last time someone won the Mega Millions jackpot was over three months ago, when a person from Ohio took home $60 million on St. Patrick’s Day.
