Playing MEGA MILLIONS
Get your play slip
Visit any Florida Lottery retail location for a paper play slip to choose your numbers. Every MEGA MILLIONS play slip allows you to play up to five panels, with each panel equaling one ticket. Tickets may be purchased until 10:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the night of the drawing. Tickets purchased after that time will be for the next drawing.
Mark your panels
Choose a panel and select five numbers from 1 through 70. Then, select your Mega Ball number from 1 through 24 in the lower play area. You can also mark the QP box (Quick Pick) in either panel and let the terminal pick some or all of your numbers at random.
Save time with Advance Play
To play the same numbers for more than one draw, select the number of advance draws you wish to play in the Advance Play section at the top of your play slip. If you claim a prize on a winning Advance Play ticket before all of the draws on the ticket have occurred, you will be issued a continuation ticket for the remaining draws with the same play numbers as the original ticket.
Submit your play slip
Submit your play slip to your Florida Lottery retailer and receive your official printed MEGA MILLIONS ticket with your numbers, built-in prize multiplier for each play, and draw date(s). You’ll need this ticket to claim any prizes, so keep it safe!
