MEGA Millions players pick five numbers from 1 to 56 and one MEGA number from a field of numbers from 1 to 46. Matching all numbers wins the MEGA jackpot prize. Winners of the MEGA Millions jackpot have 60 days to decide if they want their prize as a lump sum or paid in 26 equal annual installments. For a $267 million jackpot, annual payments would be more than $10 million a year for 26 years (before federal taxes).
