If there are multiple winners on any given day, then their prizes will be combined into one mega-prize pool.

Winning the Mega Millions jackpot is not as easy as matching all of the numbers correctly.

It's actually quite complicated to calculate the odds of winning.

Your chances of winning depend on how many tickets were sold and where they were sold.

If someone else matched all three numbers on their ticket with yours and they bought ticket earlier than you, you lose!
