Wisconsin's Megabucks With EZ Match

Wisconsin's Megabucks is a "Pick 6" lottery draw game held twice each week. The game was formerly known as "Wisconsin's Very Own Megabucks". Lottery customers get two plays for one-dollar ($1) and also have the option of buying EZ Match numbers for an additional $1 per ticket. Megabucks prizes range from two-dollars ($2) to the jackpot, which is always at least one million dollars ($1,000,000) if you choose the annuity of twenty-five (25) yearly payments. If no players match all six numbers the jackpot will roll over, and increase for the next draw. The amount the jackpot increases is based on the number of tickets sold. The bigger it gets, the faster it grows as excitement builds and ticket sales increase.

Nearly fifty-four percent (53.5%) of Megabucks sales are returned to players in prizes over time. EZ Match returns about sixty-three percent (63.1%) to players. You can play Megabucks alone or add EZ Match for a chance to win any or all five additional prizes instantly.

Proceeds from the Wisconsin Lottery go toward property tax relief for state residents. You need to be at least 18 years of age to play any lottery games or to redeem winning tickets.
