1 Each ticket costs $1. 2  Mega Millions draws are held Tuesday and Friday at 11:00 p.m. 3  All prizes, except the jackpot, are fixed dollar amounts. 4  The jackpot total is dependent on the amount of money in the draw's prize pool.

And yet Powerball sold enough $2 tickets to nearly double its minimum $10 million increase and land at $100 million for the annuity, $56.1 million for the cash.
