The January 6 Mega Millions lottery has skyrocketed to be worth at least at least $940 million. It’s one of the largest jackpots in the history of Mega Millions. Lines might be long, but you’ll likely want a ticket. But how do you know where to buy a Mega Millions ticket near you? Read on for details.
Map of Where to Buy a Mega Millions Ticket
Mega Millions tickets cost $2 each (with an additional $1 if you choose the Megaplier option.) To win the jackpot, you need to match five white ball numbers and one yellow Mega Ball. You can pick these individually or choose the Easy Pick/Quick Pick option to have the numbers automatically chosen for you.
Most convenience stores, gas stations, and grocery stores sell Mega Millions tickets, and the cutoff time can vary from 15 minutes before the draw to an hour before the draw. If you’re running close to the deadline, you might want to call ahead to find out if your location is selling tickets.
