The Math Behind Mega Millions

Mega Millions requires matching 5 numbers from 70 and 1 Mega Ball from 25. The total number of combinations is 302,575,350. Your chance of winning is 1 in 302,575,350.

Mega Millions vs. Other Games

Mega Millions has even worse odds than Powerball (1 in 292M). Both are far worse than 6/49 (1 in 13.9M) or 5/40 (1 in 658K). The bigger the jackpot, the worse the odds.

The Reality Check

You are more likely to be struck by lightning, attacked by a shark, and become president—all in the same year—than to win Mega Millions. Lottist helps you see these odds clearly.
