How to Play Megabucks
$1Wednesday, Saturday6 × [1–49]
Overview
Megabucks is Wisconsin’s in-state jackpot game: pick six numbers from 1–49, sold two plays for $1. The jackpot starts at $1 million and grows until someone matches all six. Drawings are Wednesday and Saturday after 9 p.m. CT.
How to play — step by step
1. Select 6 numbers
Choose 6 numbers from 1 to 49, or mark Quick Pick and let the terminal choose.
2. Play in pairs
The minimum purchase is two panels for $1, and every set of two plays costs $1 per drawing. You can play up to 8 drawings (4 weeks) in advance.
3. Add EZ Match (optional)
For $1 more per set of two plays, EZ Match prints five numbers with instant prizes from $1 to $250. Match any of them to a Megabucks number on your own ticket to win on the spot; your plays still enter the drawing.
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.
