Please note every effort has been made to ensure that the enclosed information is accurate; however, in the event of an error, the winning numbers and prize amounts in the official record of the Florida Lottery shall be controlling.
MEGA MONEY™ jackpots start at $500,000 and can roll over to up to $2 million if there isn’t a jackpot winner.
Once the MEGA MONEY jackpot reaches $2 million, the top prize pool rolls down and increases the payouts on all of
the lower-tier prize levels.
To play, pick up a MEGA MONEY playslip at an authorized Florida Lottery
retailer. Each playslip contains five panels (A-E), allowing you to play
up to five plays per drawing (one play per panel). In each panel:
1. Select four numbers from 1 through 44 in the upper play area AND one MEGABALL ® number from 1 through 22 in the lower play area of the playslip.
2. Or mark the Quick Pick box in the panel and let the terminal randomly select some or all of your numbers.
3.
To play the same numbers for more than one draw, select the number of draws
you want to play in the Advance Play section of your playslip or tell the
retailer how many advance draws you wish to play. For more information on
Advance Play, please click here.
4.
Give your completed playslip and payment to the retailer. You will receive a ticket printed
with your numbers and draw date(s) played. Please check your ticket(s) before you leave the
store. You are responsible for the accuracy of your ticket(s).
5.
Check the official drawing results to see if you’re a winner! Draw results are available on this
Web site, at authorized Florida Lottery retailers and by calling (850) 921-PLAY (7529).
To watch the drawings, click here.
Drawings are held Tuesday and Friday nights at 11:15 p.m. Eastern Time.
Tickets may be purchased until 10:40 p.m. Eastern Time on the night of the draw. Tickets purchased after 10:40 p.m. will be for the next draw.
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.
Please remember: All prizes must be claimed within 180 days of the applicable draw date.
The Florida Lottery will hold official MEGA MONEY drawings where four out of 44
numbers and a MEGABALL ® number between 1 and 22 will be drawn at random. There
are eight ways to win MEGA MONEY prizes by matching the winning numbers drawn in
the official drawing for the date played. Match all four numbers in any order plus
the MEGABALL to win the jackpot or match any of the non-jackpot winning combinations
to win other great cash prizes.
If no MEGA MONEY ticket matches all four winning numbers and the MEGABALL, the top
prize pool rolls over to the next draw until it reaches $2 million. After the MEGA MONEY
jackpot reaches $2 million and there is no jackpot winner, the amount in the top prize pool
in excess of the funds required for a $2 million annuity will roll down to increase the prize
payouts on all of the lower-tier cash prizes. The rolldown prizes are estimated to be double
the normal payouts.
Players may choose to receive their portion of the MEGA MONEY jackpot in a one-time
Cash Option payment or in 20 annual payments. The Cash Option payment is the amount
required on the day of the drawing (or if the drawing is held on a holiday, the business
day prior to the drawing) to fund the applicable jackpot prize over 20 years, less applicable
taxes. MEGA MONEY jackpot winners who want to receive a single Cash Option payment must claim
their prizes within the first 60 days of the 180-day redemption period. Applicable federal
income taxes will be withheld from both Cash Option and annual payments at the time payments
are made. For more information on claiming Lottery prizes, click here.
