The Ohio (2) and Wisconsin tickets each had all five white balls to win $1 million. It was not immediately known where the winners purchased their tickets in each state.

The jackpot was last won on September 10, when a lottery player in Texas won $810 million – the seventh largest Mega Million of all time.

How do I play Mega Millions?

The cost is $2 per ticket, but you can add the Megaplier for $1, which increases the amount of your potential win to five times the original prize (excluding the jackpot).

Each player chooses five numbers from 1 to 70 for the white balls and one number from 1 to 25 for the mega ball. However, you can also have the lottery machine generate a random quick selection for you. You do not have to be a US citizen or a resident of a specific state in which you purchase your ticket.
