When the numbers on your Mega Millions ticket - the five main numbers as well as the additional Mega Ball number - match the numbers that came up in the draw, you win the Mega Millions jackpot! Match the five main numbers and you instantly become an American lottery millionaire! When your numbers form a partial match, you may still be entitled to prizes in Mega Millions’ eight secondary prize tiers.
Mega Millions jackpot starts at an estimated $20,000,000* and the jackpot has on occasion rolled over to astronomical amounts. Mega Millions awarded a $656 million jackpot in March 2012, a world record the lottery held for 4 years. One-third of this huge prize was won by the 'Three Amigos', three members of a very lucky winning lottery syndicate.
The Mega Millions world record stood until January 2016, when Powerball took over the crown as the lottery champion of the world with a $1.586 billion jackpot. Changes to the Mega Millions game format have made it more difficult to win the Mega Millions jackpot. In a draw held in October 2018, Mega Millions came very close to setting a new world record when it awarded a $1.537 billion jackpot.
*Officially, the advertised jackpot is determined by game sales and interest rates, and it is announced prior to each draw.
