Mega Millions changed its rules in October 2017, making the odds of winning the big jackpot lower (they used to be 1 in 258.9 million.) On October 28, 2017, Mega Millions increased the cost of buying a ticket from $1 to $2. The odds of winning Mega Millions are 1 in 302.6 million, which are actually less than the odds of winning the Powerball, which is 1 in 292.2 million. But if you only match one white number, then you also won’t win anything tonight. If you match 3 white only or if you match 2 white and 1 yellow, you’ll win $10. If you match one yellow ball (which is the last number drawn), then you’ll win $2. If you match 3 white and 1 yellow, you’ll win $200. If you match 4 white only, you’ll win $500. If you match all five white numbers only, you’ll win $1 million (and more if you’re using a Mega plier option.) If you match 4 white and the yellow, you’ll win $10,000. In order to win tonight’s jackpot, you’d need to match all five white balls and the yellow Mega ball. There are several other ways you can win tonight. A lot of people match two of the white balls and get excited until they realize that they won’t be getting anything that way. But if you only match two white balls and don’t match the yellow ball, you won’t win anything. That’s enough to buy yourself two more tickets for $2 each in the next jackpot.
If you match a yellow ball and a white ball during tonight’s drawing, then you will walk away with $4, according to Mega Millions’ rules which you can read here. Here’s What You Win If You Match 2 Numbers Matching two white balls won’t get you any winnings. Here are more details. However, you will only win some money if you matched a yellow ball and a white ball. Does this mean you won something, even if you didn’t win the big jackpot? Yes, if you match two Mega Millions numbers during the drawing, this means that you will walk away with some money, but you won’t win the jackpot.
If you’re watching the Mega Millions drawing tonight, you may find that you matched only two numbers that were drawn.
