Play Mega Millions in Connecticut
We’ve all bought a lottery ticket before a big drawing just for the two extra minutes of dreaming while we wait in line. That’s the whole appeal of Mega Millions. Five bucks and one gold ball stand between you and a jackpot that starts at $50 million and only goes up from there. Every Tuesday and Friday night, someone’s life changes on live TV, and you can be in that drawing without leaving Connecticut.

How to Play Mega Millions
Playing is simple. Pick 5 numbers from 1 to 70 for the white balls, then 1 number from 1 to 24 for the gold Mega Ball. Match all six and the jackpot is yours.
Every ticket also comes with a built-in multiplier, randomly assigned at 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or 10x, that can boost every non-jackpot prize you win. There’s nothing extra to add and nothing extra to pay. It’s already part of the $5 ticket price.
Nine prize tiers pay out on a Mega Millions ticket, from matching just the Mega Ball for $10 up to the jackpot itself. Jackpot odds sit at 1 in 290,472,336, and the starting jackpot grows by at least $10 million every drawing it rolls.
When Mega Millions Draws
Mega Millions draws twice a week, Tuesday and Friday at 11pm ET. Get your ticket in before the drawing to be in it, and the jackpot keeps climbing every time nobody matches all six.
