Check your Mega Millions numbers and see if you've won

Pick the drawing date and enter your numbers. If your ticket has more than one line, add each one and the checker goes through them all at once.

If you play the same numbers every time, there's no need to check drawing by drawing: choose a date range of up to 90 days and the checker compares your numbers with every drawing in that period. If you only play on one day of the week, you can narrow it down to that day's drawings.

Choose the multiplier printed at the end of each line (2X to 10X): the checker multiplies the prize by it, as the lottery does with every prize except the jackpot.

Every drawing has a huge number of winners: over the last 40 drawings, there were about 280,000 per drawing on average. That's why it's always worth checking your ticket, even if you don't think you've won. Mega Ball only is the prize won most often: it pays $5 times the multiplier on the ticket, so $10 to $50, to about 180,000 winners per drawing. Next comes Match 1 + Mega Ball, which pays $7 times the multiplier on the ticket, so $14 to $70, to about 75,000 winners per drawing.

And if you're after the big prizes, the results page has every prize tier, drawing by drawing.
