*A match-six $2 wager top prize yields $1 million take home after required federal and state tax withholdings are deducted. A $1 wager yields $500,000, and a 50¢ wager yields $250,000. Withholdings are based on 2015 IRS rates and are subject to change.

Note: Play Your Way allows you to control your wager and choose which top prize you want to win - $1,000,000, $500,000 or $250,000. You can choose to wager $2 on one set of numbers, $1 on two sets of numbers or 50¢ on four sets of numbers. No split bets are allowed. In other words, you can’t wager $1 on one set of numbers and then 50¢ on two other sets of numbers. Each wager amount must total $2.

We draw six balls between 1 and 40. The seventh ball, the Bonus Ball, gets drawn even though you don't select it.

After the draw, check to see if the Bonus Ball number that we've drawn appears within the set of six numbers on your ticket. If it does, you've matched the Bonus Ball! Check the prize chart to see how much you may have won.
