As the Mega Millions jackpot surpasses $1 billion, many new players are flocking to retailers to buy tickets but may not know how to ask for one. To buy a ticket in-person, you can ask for a "Quick Pick" where a computer generates random numbers, or you can pick the numbers yourself. You can also choose to add the "Megaplier" for an extra dollar, which multiplies non-grand prize winnings. If you want to pick your own numbers, fill out a playslip with your selections. Mega Millions tickets cost $2 per play, and the Megaplier feature is available in most states for an additional $1. Tickets can be purchased in-person at various locations or online in select states. The Mega Millions drawings take place every Tuesday and Friday at 11 p.m. ET, and tickets are available up to 15 minutes before the drawing. If you win, you can choose between a lump sum cash option or an annuity option with annual payments.
