How to Buy Mega Millions Online

Estimate Cost : 15 USD

Time Needed : 0 days 0 hours 10 minutes

Just as if you were standing face to face with a ticket seller, when you buy Mega Millions tickets online, you have to choose your numbers according to the rules of the game. Only instead of doing this in a lottery retail outlet, on theLotter you pick your numbers in an online play grid.

  1. Choose ticket type

    When buying Mega Millions tickets online, you can choose between different types of tickets: standard (individual ticket), syndicate shares or bundles.

  2. Pick your numbers

    Whether you buy Mega Millions online or offline, you have 2 options when it comes to choosing your numbers. You can either pick your own numbers manually or use the automated Quick Pick to receive a computer-generated set of random numbers. Both options have their merits.Players have also had success with their own numbers like birthdays, anniversaries, or other lucky numbers. Some people use hot and cold numbers to make their choice. On the other hand, Quick Pick can be just as lucky and has a better chance of being a unique entry, meaning a jackpot winner with a Quick Pick entry is less likely to have to share their winnings. Either way, it is all in Lady Luck’s hands!

  3. Choose Mega Ball

    The Mega Ball number is selected from a different barrel. It ranges from 1 to 25. Just like with the main numbers, you can go with a personal preference or leave it all in Lady Luck’s hands by clicking the Quick Pick button.

  4. Add Megaplier and choose number of draws

    Before you hit the “Play” button, you have the option of adding Megaplier to your Mega Millions ticket. Although it’s optional, this multiplier can make the difference between a random prize and a life-changing one. You can also choose to purchase tickets for several draws by opting for a Multi-Draw or a Subscription. They both come with discounts!

  5. Create an account

    If you don’t already have an account on the site, you will be prompted to create one by entering your personal details. Once you did that, you can finalize your ticket’s purchase.

  6. Enter payment details

    Last part of the ticket purchase process is adding a payment method. There is a generous range to choose from, depending on your country of residence.
