Mega Millions Lottery Pools
Mega Millions is a major multi-state lottery game known for large jackpots. A Mega Millions pool lets members combine entries for a specific drawing, but winning still depends on official results.
How Mega Millions works
Mega Millions players choose five main numbers and one Mega Ball number. Prize tiers depend on how many numbers match the official drawing and whether optional multipliers or add-ons apply in the ticket jurisdiction.
Because jackpots can roll over and grow, group pools are especially popular before high-profile drawings.
Mega Millions drawing schedule
Mega Millions drawings are typically held twice per week. Ticket sales cutoffs vary by retailer location and state rules, so pool members should confirm deadlines before joining.
Looty Pool shows the next draw information for each open Mega Millions pool in the app.

How winnings may be shared
