Is Mega Millions worth playing? The payback
Payback = expected return per ticket ÷ ticket price, using published odds and current prize amounts (the jackpot changes each draw). It's a long-run statistical average, not a prediction.
How the Mega Millions payout chart works
Each row shows what you win for a given match and how likely it is (the odds of winning). The more numbers you match, the bigger the prize. The top prize is a rolling jackpot that grows until someone wins it, while the lower tiers usually pay fixed amounts. To take home a prize, match your numbers to the drawn numbers and check this chart.
