Did anyone win the Mega Millions jackpot?

Mega Millions Payment Options
If you win Mega Millions, there are basically two ways to collect your money:
- Annuity Payment – You are paid in 30 payments, with each payment increasing by 5% from the previous year's amount. This is an option for receiving steady money over time.
- Cash Option – You would receive a one-time lump sum of cash, equal to less than the total annuity amount on winning the jackpot.
For smaller prizes, it’s usually the case that winners receive either a single amount paid out in one cash payment, while those claiming a jackpot must choose digestively between the annuity or cash payment option. Understanding how to collect your winnings, will help you financially plan.
How to Play Mega Millions
Mega Millions is simple to play:
- You choose five numbers from 1 to 70 and one Mega Ball number from 1 to 25.
- Each play costs 5 dollars in the current format.
- Draws take place every Tuesday and Friday night.
- If a player matches all five white balls and the Mega Ball, they win the jackpot. Matching fewer numbers still gives you the chance to win lower-tier prizes.
