How to Play Megabucks

$1Monday, Wednesday, Saturday6 × [1–48]

Overview

Oregon’s Game Megabucks is Oregon’s own jackpot game: pick six numbers from 1–48 for $1 per play. The jackpot starts at $1 million, grows until someone matches all six, then resets to $1 million. Drawings are every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 7:29 p.m. PT.

How to play — step by step

  1. 1. Select 6 numbers

    Choose 6 numbers from 1 to 48, or mark Quick Pick and let the terminal choose.

  2. 2. Add the Kicker (optional)

    For an extra $1 per $1 played, the Kicker multiplies match-4 and match-5 prizes by 4 and turns a match-3 free ticket into $4. It does not apply to the jackpot.

  3. 3. Play up to 26 drawings

    Buy the same numbers for consecutive drawings, or take the Quick Pick offer of 26 consecutive drawings for $25.

  4. 4. Choose how many drawings

    Pay $1 per play (add-ons cost extra). Tell the retailer how many consecutive drawings you want, or mark Advance Play on the slip.
