A bonus number allows a lottery to add additional secondary prize categories to give players more opportunities to win prizes. Players do not have the option to select which bonus number they’d like to play. Bonus numbers are drawn last from the same drum as the main numbers.
How do bonus numbers work?
Say the jackpot winning numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and the bonus ball is 6. The player, or players, who correctly matched all five main numbers will win the jackpot. However, if a player selected 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 they’ll have matched four out of five main numbers, plus the bonus ball, and will be eligible for a 4+1 prize worth more than simply matching four out of five numbers.
When you check lottery results on the site, the bonus number will appear in blue at the top of the screen and as X+1 in the prize breakdown.
In a lottery, an additional number is a number that a player must choose in addition to the main numbers. Lotteries currently offer one or two additional numbers. The additional number comes from a separate guess range, appears on the play slip in a separate matrix, and is drawn from a separate drum. Lotteries that feature additional numbers require that a player matches all the main numbers as well as the additional number to win the jackpot.
Lotteries include additional numbers to make the play format more exciting, and to offer more prize categories and higher jackpots.
US Powerball was the first lottery to use an additional number, which they named the Powerball and from which the lottery got its current name. To this day, an additional number may also be known as a Powerball.
When looking at prize categories, additional numbers will be indicated by “PB.” For example, the first prize of the EuroMillions prize breakdown is 5 + 2 PB.
Ticket purchases close on the site approximately one to two hours before the lottery draw to allow our offices sufficient time to complete orders in an accurate and timely manner. To see local draw times, please consult the specific lottery page for more details.
When you play the lottery online at MagicLotto, you don’t have to check lottery draw results yourself to see if you won prizes. We will notify you whenever you win with an automatic email. At the same time, your Ticket Purchases on MagicLotto will be updated and you will be able to view the draw details and your winnings. To find out about your win in the fastest way possible, sign up for MagicLotto FREE SMS and EMAIL winning alerts.
Your jackpot and non-jackpot winnings may be subject to local tax (tax deducted at source) before they can be transferred to you. In addition, you may be subject to local taxation based on your country of residence.
For more information about the tax requirements of the lotteries offered on our site, please visit our Lottery Tax Information page.
Prizes in a lottery draw other than a jackpot are considered secondary prizes. Each lottery has its own prize division setup, defining the prizes and odds for partial matches. Please note that secondary winnings may be subject to local tax (tax deducted at source) before they can be transferred to you. In addition, you may be subject to local taxation based on your country of residence.
For more information about the tax requirements of the lotteries offered on our site, please visit our Lottery Tax Information page.
Secondary winnings will be transferred to your account after receipt of the prize from the official lottery operator. Some lotteries have different prize collection procedures. In these cases, Customer Support Team will guide you through the collection process until you receive your winnings. You may use your winnings for future participation in lottery draws or withdraw all, or part of the winnings with your designated payment method.
Jackpot winners may be required to collect the prize in person from the official lottery operator, in which case MagicLotto may choose to fly the winner there. If you are the winner of a major lottery prize you will be given information how to collect your prize.
Secondary wins are transferred directly to your winnings account after receipt of the prize from the official lottery operator. You will receive email notification when your winnings are deposited in your account so that you can use them for future participation in lottery draws, or you can choose to withdraw them.
No. If you win a lottery prize on tickets purchased at MagicLotto, no information about our winners are published on our site. If you win a lottery jackpot, the requirements of the official lottery organisation apply.
All winnings on lottery tickets purchased at MagicLotto are paid out commission-free, regardless of the amount. If you choose to withdraw your lottery winnings, a bank transfer fee from your bank is applied.
Many countries pay out lottery wins tax-free. For those countries that tax lottery wins, the rate varies widely.
MagicLotto is required to pay taxes on lottery wins in accordance with the laws of the country or state where the ticket was purchased.
You can find more information regarding the tax requirements for the lotteries we offer on our Lottery Taxes page. Please feel free to contact our customer support team with any questions regarding taxation.
When you win the jackpot, we will immediately notify you and a member of our customer support team will contact you directly to coordinate the collection of your prize. In the case of a jackpot win, MagicLotto may choose to pay your travel expenses to the location where the ticket was purchased. There, you will receive the ticket from our local office manager in the presence of MagicLotto's legal team and proceed to the official lottery organisation to collect your prize in person.
Certain lotteries offer jackpot winners a choice between receiving their prize as an annuity or as a cash lump sum payment. If you choose the annuity option, your prize will be paid out in instalments over a fixed number of years. If you request the cash lump sum option, you will receive the entire prize up front. Lump sum payments are less than the total amount given to a winner in annuity payments, with the amount varying according to lottery policy. In addition, some lottery prizes are taxed at source, so the take home prize will actually be much less than the advertised jackpot.
Some lotteries allow winners to remain completely anonymous, while others require some degree of public disclosure. For lotteries that require a winner to disclose their identity, it is often for transparency purposes. By making public the identities of winners, a lottery can show that the winners are real, have no connection to the lottery, and that all ticket holders have an equal chance of winning.
Below is the list of lotteries available on MagicLotto that allow jackpot winners to claim their prize anonymously:
Europe - EuroJackpot
South Africa - Daily Lotto
South Africa – Lotto / Plus 1 / Plus 2
South Africa – Powerball / Plus
Italy - SuperEnalotto
Winners who wish to remain anonymous for security reasons may be able to receive an exemption to a lottery's disclosure requirements.
Regardless of a lottery's specific disclosure requirements, MagicLotto will never disclose a winner's identity without their consent.
Winning a substantial amount of money has life-changing implications and Magiclotto recommends that winners consult with financial and legal experts to prepare for and take advantage of their good fortune fully.
Please feel free to contact our customer support team with any questions regarding anonymity.
To win a lottery jackpot, all of the numbers on your lottery ticket must match those selected in the draw. If your numbers constitute a partial match with those drawn, you could be entitled to a secondary prize, but this is dependent on the specific lottery’s rules and prize divisions.
If you think that your ticket entitles you to a prize, check to make sure that your matching numbers are all in the same line. Please keep in mind that each line you purchase is an independent unit. Also, make sure that you are comparing your ticket with the results of the correct lottery draw and the date you played.
If you are still unsure whether your ticket is eligible for a lottery prize, please contact us.

In addition, MagicLotto strictly enforces a minimum age limit for our customers. Anyone under the age of 18 years is stringently prohibited from registering an account and using our service (and in some jurisdictions, you may be prohibited from playing lotteries even when you're older than 18).
MagicLotto strongly recommends that its customers be fully aware of the signs of problematic gaming behaviour and limit their play accordingly.

There’s no way that you can win a lottery that you didn’t play. If you are contacted by someone you don’t know suggesting that you won a lottery, be suspicious. Even emails sent to you that seem to be coming from a genuine email address are most likely fraudulent. No official lottery would contact you about winning a prize because lotteries do not know that you, or any other individual, has purchased a ticket to participate in its draw.
For additional information about lottery scams see: WLA Scam Protection (world-lotteries.org)
There are a number of ways you can protect yourself.
- Never click on links in suspicious emails, and do not respond to them.
- Never give out your personal information, bank account details, or any other financial information. No real organization would require this if you won a real lottery prize.
- Do not allow anyone you don’t know to collect or transfer winnings on your behalf.
- Do not pay any ‘processing fee’ in order to claim a lottery prize.
- Do not agree to assist someone you don’t know in collecting their prize.
- Beware of offers from strangers, including on social media, to share their winnings.
- There is no way to guarantee that you will win a lottery prize. Do not agree to any offer suggesting otherwise.
If you receive an email suggesting that you won a lottery prize, be suspicious, even if the email appears to be genuine. No official lottery would contact you in this manner. Do not respond to this email and do not click on any links in the message.
When we inform you of lottery winnings, you can login to your account and verify the winning notification yourself.

One of the most enticing aspects of EuroMillions is the massive jackpots on offer. The guaranteed minimum jackpot for EuroMillions is €17 million, but it often reaches much higher values due to rollovers. When no player matches all the numbers drawn, the jackpot rolls over to the next draw, increasing in size. This creates the potential for staggering jackpots that can change your life in an instant!
4. How to Win Prizes on EuroMillions
The ultimate goal in EuroMillions is to win the jackpot, and to do so, you must match all five main numbers and two Lucky Stars drawn. However, there are also 12 additional prize tiers, offering players the chance to win smaller prizes. These prizes can be won by matching as few as two main numbers or more. To find out more about the prize tiers and the corresponding prizes, check out the EuroMillions Prizes page.

So if you're of legal age, why not try your luck and see if you can become the next EuroMillions millionaire?
8. Taxation of EuroMillions Prizes
One of the most common questions among EuroMillions winners is whether the prizes are taxable. The answer varies depending on the country. There are only three EuroMillions nations that tax EuroMillions wins. In Spain, prizes worth more than €40,000 are taxed at a rate of 20%. In Switzerland, amounts worth more than CHF1,000 are taxed at a rate of 35%. Portugal imposes a 20% levy on prizes of more than €5,000. Additionally, if you take part in EuroMillions from a non-participating country, it's important to check with a local expert regarding any potential tax liabilities. For more information about lottery tax in different countries, visit our Lotto Tax page.
9. Record-Breaking EuroMillions Jackpots
EuroMillions has seen some jaw-dropping jackpots over the years, with lucky players taking home life-changing sums of money. The largest EuroMillions jackpot ever won was €230 million, which went to a single ticket in the UK on Tuesday 19th July 2022. Prior to that, a French player won €220 million in October 2021. These record-breaking jackpots highlight the incredible potential that EuroMillions offers its players.
10. Odds of Winning the EuroMillions Jackpot
While the allure of the EuroMillions jackpot is undeniable, it's essential to understand the odds of winning. The odds of winning the EuroMillions jackpot are 1 in 139,838,160. However, EuroMillions also offers twelve additional prize tiers, giving players a chance to win cash amounts for matching as few as two main numbers. So even if the jackpot seems like a long shot, there are still plenty of opportunities to win smaller prizes.
11. Overall Odds of Winning a EuroMillions Prize
Apart from the odds of winning the jackpot, it's also important to consider the overall odds of winning a EuroMillions prize. The chances of winning any prize in EuroMillions are 1 in 13. To get a detailed breakdown of the odds of winning in each tier, refer to the EuroMillions Prizes page. Understanding the overall odds can help you manage expectations and enhance your EuroMillions experience.
12. Rollover Limits and Jackpot Cap on EuroMillions
EuroMillions doesn't have a limit to the number of times the jackpot can roll over. However, it does have a jackpot cap. Currently, the cap stands at €240 million. Once the jackpot reaches this amount, it can only remain there for five draws. If the jackpot is not won in the fifth draw, it will roll down and be evenly shared between all players in the next winning tier. The jackpot cap increases by €10 million after each maximum jackpot is reached, with the potential to rise as high as €250 million. This ensures that EuroMillions continues to offer exciting jackpots while maintaining a fair distribution of winnings.
13. Superdraws: Massive Jackpots Guaranteed
EuroMillions Superdraws are special events that guarantee massive jackpots. These draws offer players the opportunity to win even larger sums of money by taking surplus funds from the prize fund. If the Superdraw jackpot is not won, it can roll over like a regular draw, up to the €240 million jackpot cap. Superdraws are highly anticipated and attract players from around the world who dream of winning colossal prizes.
14. Upcoming EuroMillions Draw and Current Jackpot
The next EuroMillions draw is scheduled to take place on Tuesday 29th August 2023. This is your chance to get in on the action and potentially win big! The current estimated EuroMillions jackpot stands at a staggering €79,000,000. So don't miss out on your opportunity to play for this life-changing sum.
15. EuroMillions Ticket Cost: Prices in Different Countries
The cost of a EuroMillions ticket varies depending on the country. In the UK, a single ticket costs £2.50. In most other participating countries, including Euro nations, the ticket price is €2.50. However, in Switzerland, tickets are priced at 3.50 CHF. Make sure to check the ticket prices in your country and play responsibly within your budget.
16. Pound vs. Euro Prize Values: Why the Difference?
You may have noticed that there is a difference between prize values in Pounds and Euros in EuroMillions. The base currency for all EuroMillions prizes is the Euro.

5. How Can I Win a Prize in Powerball?

After winning a Powerball prize, you might be wondering if there's a time limit to claim it. Each state has its own rules regarding prize claim periods, which can range from 90 days to a year after the relevant draw. To avoid missing out on your winnings, make sure to check with your state lottery to find out when your ticket will expire. Don't let your fortune slip away!
8. Lost or Damaged Ticket? Here's What You Need to Know
Your Powerball ticket is your proof of play and your ticket to claiming your prize. Losing or damaging it can be a nightmare, but don't worry – there might still be hope. If your ticket is damaged, it must meet certain requirements laid out by your state lottery. Generally, tickets that have been ripped, defaced, altered, or tampered with in any way are not considered valid. However, if your ticket is still legible and intact, you may still be able to claim your prize. Remember to sign your ticket to prevent someone else from claiming your rightful winnings.
9. Age Limit for Playing Powerball: Are You Eligible?
Before diving into the world of Powerball, it's important to know if you meet the age requirements. While most states require players to be at least 18 years old, there are a few exceptions. In Nebraska, the minimum age is 19, and in Arizona, Iowa, Louisiana, and Mississippi, you must be 21 years old to play. So make sure you're of legal age before purchasing your Powerball ticket.
10. The Taxman Cometh: Will I Pay Taxes on My Prize?
After winning a Powerball prize, you might be wondering if you'll have to share your fortune with the taxman. The short answer is yes, as U.S. citizens are required to pay federal taxes on any prizes exceeding $5,000. Additionally, some states withhold their own taxes from the total prize amount. Even if your prize is not taxed at the point of claiming, a prize worth $600 or more is typically reported to the IRS as taxable income. It's always a good idea to consult a tax professional to understand your specific tax obligations.
11. Which States Play Powerball? Is Yours on the List?
Powerball is a popular game played across the United States, but not all states participate. Currently, Powerball is played in 45 states, along with the jurisdictions of Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The five states that do not offer Powerball are Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada, and Utah. If you reside in any of the other states or jurisdictions, you're in luck – you can join the Powerball excitement!
12. What Are My Chances of Winning a Powerball Prize?
You might be curious about your odds of winning a Powerball prize. With so many players vying for the jackpot, the odds may seem daunting. However, there are multiple prize tiers, increasing your chances of winning something. The overall odds of winning any Powerball prize are approximately 1 in 24.87. The odds of winning the jackpot, on the other hand, stand at a staggering 1 in 292,201,338. While the chances may be slim, someone has to win – why not you?
13. There's No Limit: Is the Powerball Jackpot Capped?
Unlike some lotteries, the Powerball jackpot has no cap. It will continue to roll over until someone matches all five main numbers and the Powerball, creating some of the largest jackpots ever seen. So dream big and get ready for the possibility of winning a life-changing fortune!
14. The Biggest Jackpot Ever: A Historic Moment
On November 7, 2022, Powerball made history with the largest jackpot ever recorded – a mind-boggling $2.04 billion.

To learn more about Powerball's biggest jackpots and the lucky winners who claimed them, head over to the Winners page. Who knows? You might be the next record-breaking winner!
15. Jackpot Winnings: Annuity or Lump Sum?
If you're fortunate enough to win the Powerball jackpot, you'll have a choice between two payout options: the annuity or the lump sum. The annuity represents the advertised amount of the jackpot and offers 30 annual installments over 29 years. On the other hand, the lump sum is a one-time, reduced cash value paid out immediately. Both options have their benefits, so consider your financial goals and consult with professionals to make an informed decision.
16. How Much Does a Powerball Ticket Cost?
To join in the Powerball fun, all it takes is a $2 investment for a single ticket. For an additional $1, you can opt for the Power Play option and increase your non-jackpot prizes by up to 10 times. With such affordable prices, playing Powerball is within reach for everyone.
17. Double the Fun: Exploring the Double Play Option
In select states, Powerball offers an additional game called Double Play. For an extra $1 per play, you have a chance to win a separate jackpot of $10 million by matching all the numbers in the Double Play drawing. Even if you don't hit the jackpot, you can still win smaller amounts by matching fewer numbers. With Double Play, the fun and potential winnings are doubled, adding an extra layer of excitement to your Powerball experience.
So there you have it – your ultimate guide to winning big in Powerball. Armed with this knowledge, you're ready to embark on your journey to fortune. Remember to play responsibly, and may the odds be ever in your favor. Good luck!
Welcome to our comprehensive guide to Mega Millions, the iconic lottery game that offers life-changing jackpots and exciting prizes. Whether you're a seasoned player or new to the game, this article will answer all your burning questions about how Mega Millions works, how to buy tickets, and how to claim your winnings. Get ready to learn everything you need to know to increase your chances of hitting the jackpot!
Understanding Mega Millions Draws
When do draws take place?
Mega Millions draws are held twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays, at approximately 11.00pm ET. Mark these dates on your calendar so you never miss a chance to win big!
What time do ticket sales close?
Ticket sales close before each draw, usually up to an hour before the scheduled time. However, cut-off times may vary depending on your location. To avoid disappointment, check with your state lottery for the exact closing time.
Can I play if I do not live in a participating state?
Absolutely! You can purchase Mega Millions tickets from any participating state, regardless of your residency. If you're not located in one of the participating states, fear not! You can also choose your numbers online from various locations around the world. However, remember that if you win a prize, you must claim it in the same state where you bought your ticket.
Claiming Your Winnings
How do I claim a prize?
Claiming your Mega Millions prize is a straightforward process. For prizes up to $599, you can visit any licensed retailer in most states. Simply present your winning ticket to the retailer, and they will validate and pay out your prize. However, for prizes exceeding $599, you will need to contact a local lottery claim center to redeem your winnings. Jackpot claims are typically handled exclusively at the relevant state lottery headquarters.
How long do I have to claim my prize?
The claim period for Mega Millions prizes varies depending on the state lottery and the prize amount. While some states offer a generous claim period of up to a year, others may only allow 90 days. To ensure you don't miss out on your winnings, contact your state lottery to confirm the length of the claim period.
What happens to unclaimed prizes?
If a prize is left unclaimed after the designated claim period, the money will be redistributed according to the regulations set by the state lottery. In most cases, unclaimed prize funds are used to support public projects within the state. For example, in New York, the proceeds from unclaimed prizes are used to fund public education. Remember, even if you hold a valid winning ticket, you won't be able to redeem your prize once the claim period has passed.
Eligibility and Taxation
How old do I have to be to play Mega Millions?
In most states, the minimum age requirement for purchasing lottery tickets, including Mega Millions, is 18 years old. However, some states have higher age restrictions. For instance, Arizona, Iowa, Louisiana, and Mississippi require players to be at least 21 years old, while Nebraska sets the minimum age at 19. It's important to check your state's regulations before buying a ticket.
Are winnings taxable?
Yes, all Mega Millions winnings are subject to federal and state taxes. However, it's worth noting that not all locations impose a state tax on lottery prizes. For more detailed information on tax obligations, please refer to the Prizes page on the official Mega Millions website.
Odds and Jackpot Information
What are the odds of winning a prize?
The odds of winning a prize in Mega Millions are approximately 1 in 24. This means that for every 24 tickets sold, one ticket is expected to win a prize. However, winning the jackpot is a much more challenging feat, with odds of 1 in 302,575,350. While the odds may seem daunting, remember that every ticket has a chance to change your life!
What does the jackpot start at and is there a cap?
The Mega Millions jackpot always starts at an impressive $20 million. Unlike some lotteries, there is no rollover cap, which means the jackpot will continue to grow until it is won. This exciting feature allows the jackpot to reach mind-boggling amounts, giving players the chance to win life-altering sums of money.
What is the biggest jackpot ever won on Mega Millions?
The current record for the largest Mega Millions jackpot stands at an astounding $1.602 billion. This historic jackpot was won on August 8, 2023, and the lucky ticket was sold in Florida. Imagine what you could do with such a massive windfall!
The Megaplier Option
What is the Megaplier?
The Megaplier is an optional add-on feature that can significantly increase your non-jackpot prizes. By marking the Megaplier option on your playslip, you have the chance to multiply your winnings by up to five times their original value. Don't miss the opportunity to boost your prizes with this exciting feature!
Just the Jackpot
What is Just the Jackpot?
Just the Jackpot is a type of wager available in select states. For only $3, you can purchase two lines of numbers that are exclusively eligible to win the jackpot. With this option, you won't receive any prizes for matching fewer numbers. To find out if Just the Jackpot is available in your state, visit the Mega Millions information page.
Understanding Pari-Mutuel Prizes
What does pari-mutuel mean?
Pari-mutuel prizes are calculated based on the number of entries and the number of winners in each lottery draw. Unlike fixed-amount prizes, pari-mutuel prizes can vary from draw to draw. In Mega Millions, only the jackpot prize follows the pari-mutuel structure, as it depends on the number of tickets sold and is shared among all jackpot winners in a particular draw. All other prizes in Mega Millions are fixed amounts and do not change from draw to draw.
Why can't I play the Megaplier in California?
California is the only state that calculates all of its prizes on a pari-mutuel basis. This means that the Megaplier option, which multiplies prizes by a fixed value, is incompatible with California's prize structure. However, California players still have the opportunity to win incredible prizes in Mega Millions.
Conclusion
Now that you're armed with all the essential information about Mega Millions, it's time to grab your tickets and start dreaming big. Remember, the next Mega Millions draw is just around the corner, so don't miss your chance to become a multimillionaire. Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor!
Additional Information:
· It's important to play responsibly and within your means. Set a budget for your lottery play and stick to it.
· Always sign the back of your lottery tickets to protect them from loss or theft.
· Double-check your numbers and the draw date before discarding your ticket. You never know when you might have a winning ticket!
