What Happens If You Win?
Winners of the Mega Millions jackpot have the choice between an annuity payment or a lump-sum cash option. The annuity consists of one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that increase each year, protecting against inflation. Conversely, the cash option provides a single lump sum that is equal to the cash available in the jackpot prize pool.
In the instance of multiple winners, the jackpot will be split equally among all winning tickets, a common occurrence that has taken place in past drawings.
