Bigger than Big. This is the New Mega! Mega Millions is a game with large jackpots, a large second prize and a total of nine ways to win - just like Powerball! The jackpot starts at $15 million and grows to mega millions - by no less than $5 million for each draw! Changes coming Oct. 28!

To play Mega Millions...

	Pick up a playslip and select five different numbers from 1 to 75 and mark them on the top portion of the playboard.
	Then, select one Mega Ball® between 1 and 15 from the bottom portion of the playboard.
Options:
	Quick Pick:  Mark the QP box, for one or both of the playslip areas, to have the terminal randomly select your numbers for you.
	Multi-Draw:  Mega Millions can be played for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10 or 15 consecutive drawings. Each play costs $1.
	Megaply!  Add the Megaplier® feature for an extra $1 per playboard, and increase your non-jackpot prize winnings by 2, 3, 4 or 5 times their normal value! To play, mark the "Y" or YES box next to "Megaplier" to select this feature for all play boards on the playslip. The Megaplier number will be chosen from a field of 15 numbers according to the following frequency: six "5s," three "4s," four "3s" and two "2s." With the Megaplier feature, any $1 through $1 million prize won on a Mega Millions play will be multiplied by that drawing's Megaplier number. For example, if you purchase a ticket with the Megaplier option, win $5,000 in the Mega Millions drawing and the Megaplier number drawn is 4, you could win a total of $20,000 ($5,000 x 4).

Give your playslip to the retailer to process your ticket. Check your ticket to confirm that the numbers and date are correct. Sign your ticket, and store it in a safe place. Remember to check the next Mega Millions drawing to see if you've won!
