In order to play and win the Mega Millions jackpot prize of $58 million on Jul. 23, a player must choose six numbers; five of which are from 1 to 75 while the remaining one is referred to as the Mega Ball and is only chosen from 1 to 15. If all of the numbers on the ticket of the player are the same digits flashed after the Mega Millions draw, then he or she will be bringing home the total jackpot prize. It's harder than it looks however, because lottery officials say that the overall likelihood of winning the Mega Millions jackpot prize is 1 in over 259 million, while the odds of winning any prize at all is 1 in 14.7. On the other hand, there are also second-place prizes for tickets with five winning numbers. The second place prize is $1 million.

Official results of the day's draw are posted shortly after 11 p.m. EST on the main webpage of the Mega Millions Lottery. Winnings are delivered in two options: one-time cash payment or in 30 separate payments.

If no one matches all six Mega Millions winning numbers in today's draw, the next Mega Millions jackpot will most likely go over the $65 million mark by the time the next drawing rolls around on Friday, Jul. 25.
