With the arrival of Mega Millions, Pennsylvania players now have four chances to win large-scale jackpots each week. Mega Millions drawings are on Tuesday and Friday, while Powerball drawings are on Wednesday and Friday. Mega Millions tickets first went on sale in Pennsylvania on Jan. 31.

How to Play Mega Millions: Mega Millions tickets cost $1 per play. Players pick five numbers from 1 to 56 and one number from 1 to 46 (The Mega Ball). Players can pick their own numbers or have numbers randomly selected by computer. For an extra $1 per play, players can add the Megaplier. Prior to the Mega Millions drawing, the Megaplier number – ranging from two to four – is randomly selected. Non-jackpot prizes from winning tickets with the Megaplier option will be multiplied by the Megaplier number.
