How to Play Mega Millions

Five numbers are chosen from a group of 70 (white balls) and one number is chosen from a group of 25 (the gold Mega Ball). To win the jackpot, players must match all six numbers. There are nine different ways to win varying amounts of money, and a player can win even if they only match one number.
