There is a minimum Mega Millions jackpot of $40 million and no maximum jackpot, which is why it climbs so high so often and why you can find four Mega Millions jackpots on a list of the ten highest ever lottery jackpots.
Each Mega Millions line consists of 5 main numbers between 1 and 70, with 1 bonus number between 1 and 25. You can choose these numbers yourself or you can select the Mega Millions number generator option, otherwise known as the “Quickplay” option to have them chosen for you.

It costs €3.00 per line to play Mega Millions on Multilotto and you can also choose to “boost” the jackpot for a total of €5.00 per play. This adds even more money to the Mega Millions jackpot, giving you millions more incentives to play.
