Don't be fooled by this webpage, this is no ordinary game. This is Mega Millions. And just like the megabyte, megawatt, and mega-yacht, it's also huge. Like, extra-ridiculous-minimum-six-zeroes-huge. In case starting with "mega" didn't make it abundantly clear – Mega Millions doesn't mess around: with lifechanging jackpots and nine ways to win you could put megabucks in your pocket for just $2. And with Megaplier you can multiply most prizes 2X to 5X for just another buck – that's a pretty serious megadeal. You may be asking yourself, "are you mega-kidding-me?" No, we're mega-not. And it gets better: with drawings every Tuesday and Friday, that's two chances a week to take home the mega-mother lode. That's twice as many days as your favorite show with a way bigger payoff. Now that's must-see TV. Get ready for Mega Millions.
