Completing a Play Slip
  • Complete a MEGA MILLIONS play slip using a pen or a pencil (any color except red works), and return it to a Montana Lottery retailer to get your ticket printed.
  • You may choose the numbers to play by selecting five numbers between 1 and 56 from the top half of the play slip and selecting one number between 1 and 46—the MEGA BALL—from the bottom half.
  • Alternatively, you may elect for the computer to randomly choose all or some of the numbers for you by marking the QUICK PICK box. (TIP: Save time by asking the clerk for a QUICK PICK ticket instead of completing a play slip!)
  • You may purchase up to five plays (labeled Play A–E) per slip. Each play is $2 with the MEGAPLIER option, which multiplies non-jackpot prizes up to four times, or $1 without.
  • To add MEGAPLIER, select the MEGAPLIER box or tell the clerk before you buy your ticket. If you are purchasing multiple plays, MEGAPLIER applies to all plays.
  • You can play the same numbers for up to 24 consecutive draws by selecting from the MULTI DRAW column of the play slip.
Reading your ticket
  • The top of your ticket shows the range of dates for which it is eligible. It reads: "Ticket valid for [X] draw(s)."
  • The numbers selected for each play are listed under their respective labels A–E, depending on the number of plays.
  • The MEGA BALL number is separated from the other five with a [-].
  • By "MEGAPLIER Option," the ticket either reads YES or NO, depending on whether you added MEGAPLIER.
  • The dollar amount you’re playing is labeled "total."
How you win
  • Compare each row of numbers from your ticket to the official winning numbers.
  • Check your ticket using the Ticket Checker installed at Lottery retailers, or ask the clerk to check it for you using the Lottery terminal.
  • Click here to view a complete list of odds and prizes.
Claiming your prize
  • Immediately sign the back of your ticket to establish ownership.
  • Collect prizes up to $599.99 from any Montana Lottery retailer.
  • Collect the jackpot or any prize of $600 and up from the Lottery’s Helena headquarters.
  • You may also claim any prize by mail. Click here to download the required claim form.
  • IMPORTANT: All prizes must be claimed within six months of the drawing for which the play was eligible.
The fine print
  • The jackpot prize will be divided equally among multiple winning tickets.
  • The annuitized jackpot option is paid in 26 annual payments.
  • The cash option is a lump-sum payment of approximately half the advertised jackpot.
  • The prize amounts published are based on the expected number of winners sharing the prize pool. Sometimes these prizes may be pari-mutuel and therefore lower than published levels. Refer to official game rules for more information about pari-mutuel prize payments.
