HOW TO PLAY MEGA MILLIONS® with MEGAPLIER®
Play Big With Mega Millions®! It's the multi-state game with big play action! Jackpots start at $12 million and grow until they're won. Drawings are held every Tuesday and Friday at 11:00pm and broadcast locally at 11:22pm on Fox CT - Channel 61 and WCCT-TV - Channel 20. Besides the jackpot, there are eight other ways to win.  When you play, add on the Megaplier® for a chance to increase your non-jackpot prize winnings!
