Nebraska Mega Millions

Annuity or Cash option

You can choose how to collect your Mega Millions jackpot - 30 annual payments (over 29 years) or one cash payment (present value*) - up to 60 days after you become entitled to the prize. The annuity option gives players annual payments that increase each year - projected at 5 percent. * if you choose cash, the present cash value is less than the advertised jackpot, which is based on a 30-year annuity.

How to Play

Pick five numbers between 1 and 70 for your five white ball numbers by marking the top section of the Mega Millions play slip. Then, pick one number between 1 and 24 for your gold Mega Ball number by marking the bottom section of the Mega Millions play slip, or mark the quick pick box on the play slip.

Each play costs $5 and you can pick up to five different sets of numbers on each play slip. You can purchase the same numbers for up to 24 consecutive drawings when you use the multi-draw box on the play slip.

Built-in Multiplier

When each Mega Millions play is purchased, a multiplier is randomly assigned that multiplies non-jackpot prizes won by 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X or 10X. The average multiplier value is 3X.

Multiplier Frequency Odds
10X 1 32.00
5X 2 16.00
4X 4 8.00
3X 10 3.20
2X 15 2.13

To calculate your prize, multiply the Prize Before Multiplier value in the chart below by the multiplier value assigned to your winning play. The multiplier does not apply to the jackpot prize.
