Mega Millions is a multi-state lottery which costs $2 per play. Players need to pick six numbers from two different pools of numbers. One pool ranges from 1 to 70 which requires you to pick any 5 numbers. Another pool ranges from 1 to 25 and you need to pick one desired number. Match all six numbers to win the jackpot.
Jackpot starts from $40 million and keeps on rolling until someone wins it. It increases by $5 million with each draw.
