Mega Millions How-to-Play Brochure (Spanish)

STEP 1

Get a Mega Millions playslip from your favorite Texas Lottery® retailer or create a play using the Texas Lottery app.

Select five (5) numbers from 1 to 70 in the play area of the playboard or mark the "QP"box and the terminal will select your five (5) numbers. OR, simply ask your lottery retailer for a "Quick Pick" and the terminal will pick all your numbers!

Pick your Mega Ball. Select one (1) Mega Ball number from 1 to 25 in the lower yellow play area of the playboard, or mark the "QP" box and the terminal will select your one (1) Mega Ball number.

MULTI-DRAW

You can play the same sets of numbers for more than one drawing. Mark the appropriate "MULTI-DRAW" box to play up to 10 consecutive drawings.

WHEN YOU BUY, MEGAPLY®!

Play the Megaplier® feature for an extra $1 per playboard and you could increase your non-grand/jackpot prize winnings by 2, 3, 4 or 5 times!

Mark the "YES" box under "MEGAPLIER" to select this feature for all playboards on the playslip.

The Megaplier number will be chosen from a field of 15 numbers according to the following frequency: one 5, three 4's, six 3's, five 2's. Any non-Grand prize you win on a Mega Millions play will be multiplied by the Megaplier number drawn if you purchased the Megaplier feature.

GRAND PRIZE PAYMENT OPTIONS

Select "30 ANNUAL PAYMENTS" or "CASH VALUE OPTION".

Mark "30 ANNUAL PAYMENTS" if you want to receive your prize in 30 annual installments.

Mark "CASH VALUE OPTION" for a single payment of the present cash value of the jackpot prize.

You may not change the payment option at a later date. When using a playslip, if you do not select a payment option, your playslip will be rejected.

The Grand Prize is pari-mutuel and will be divided equally by the number of Grand Prize winners. The Mega Millions Grand Prize amount that is advertised is not always a guaranteed amount, it is an estimated amount. A Grand prize winner may receive less than the advertised amount based on actual Mega Millions game sales and interest rates for long-term investments.

Mega Millions costs $2 per play.

Adding Megaplier is $1 more per play.
