Picking the lottery numbers for Mega Millions is a fun and can win you a big prize. The Mega Millions lottery is played in the USA and is a very popular game with the twelve states that are involved (and more states are getting involved as we speak!). The other big lottery game in the USA is the Powerball.
Mega millions has offered one of the biggest prizes in Mega Lottery history - that is the incredible amount of $390 million. Other lotteries that can stand up to that kind of money include Euro millions, played in the UK and El Gordo, played in Spain.
When picking Mega Lottery Numbers, it is important to make sure the numbers you are choosing are the right ones - plenty of people make mistakes on the play slip and never check their ticket, therefore not realising there has been a mistake until its too late! According to the rules since June 2005 the player picks the Mega Millions numbers by hand or lets the machine choose random numbers.
The player picks five main numbers from number 1 to 56. These balls are white and then the player chooses a golden ball from numbers 1 to 46. This is like a bonus ball or even a magic ball - this special one will give you the chance to win a bigger jackpot. Also, what is fantastic about this is that you can win a prize just by matching the mega millions golden ball and nothing else (the prize is $2) - talk about giving you a real chance of winning or playing for free!
Remember that you can choose the same number in the golden ball section as in the main numbers as two machines are used for the draw although you may want to consider the probability of the same number coming out on both sides - not impossible but do consider it.
To buy a ticket, the cost is $1 and don't forget you can buy in advance, you can buy online and have a digital ticket instead (has its advantages as the ticket cannot be lost, damaged or stolen, plus the winning ticket is naturally picked out from the system so if you forget to check you will still get an email alerting you of your prize). If you are bad at remembering to buy a ticket then buy in advance, online or by subscription - you can even buy lottery tickets by mail, which you can't do in many other countries! You don't want to lose out if you do have the winning Mega Lottery numbers so don't forget your golden ticket!
When collecting the prize there are two ways to get your prize - in a lump sum or in annual instalments. In Georgia and New Jersey you can change your mind and take the prize in cash later on but in New York and Texas you cannot. If the prize is significant you may want to take it in annual sums.
