How to Play
Megabucks is a Tri-State game shared by Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. Here is the whole game in order.

Pick five numbers
Choose 5 numbers from 1 to 41. Order does not matter — any arrangement of the same five numbers wins the same prize.
- 2

Choose 1 number from 1 to 6. The Megaball is drawn from a separate pool.
- 3
Match to win
Match all five numbers and the Megaball to win the jackpot, which rolls over until someone wins.
How to read Megabucks statistics
The Megaball comes out of its own 1–6 pool, so white-ball trends say nothing about it. With only 6 possibilities, its frequency chart settles very quickly — small differences are normal noise, not a signal.
Sum and parity analysis applies to the five white balls, whose sum clusters in the middle of the 1–41 range.Practical playing tips
- Spread your line across the full 1–41 range instead of clustering under 31 — birthday lines are the most duplicated tickets.
- Aim for a sum in the common middle band rather than an extreme low or high total.
- Mix odd and even numbers. Splits of 3/2 and 2/3 account for the majority of historical draws.
- Track the Megaball separately. It comes from its own 1–6 pool.
- Use a fixed budget and treat the ticket as entertainment — no filter changes the 1 in 4.5 million jackpot odds.

Megabucks Frequently Asked Questions
How do I play Megabucks?
Select 5 numbers between 1 and 41 and 1 Megaball between 1 and 6, purchase a ticket, and match them with the draw results to win prizes.
What are the odds of winning Megabucks?

Where can I check Megabucks results?
You can view the latest results and full draw history on the Megabucks results page.

Can Megabucks statistics help me choose numbers?
Statistics help identify trends in past draws, but every lottery result is independently random — no statistical pattern can predict future outcomes.
What statistics can do is inform your number selection based on historical frequency. Hot numbers have appeared more often over a given period, while cold numbers have appeared less. Whether you prefer to follow frequency trends or pick numbers that are statistically "due" is a personal strategy. The important thing to understand is that each draw resets completely — past results have no mathematical influence on future ones. Statistics are a tool for exploration, not a guarantee of winning.
