This is the sixth largest jackpot in U.S. multi-state lottery history, and the fourth biggest Mega Millions prize.

Here’s everything you need to know about the historically high Mega Millions jackpot and how you can buy tickets.

Mega Millions tickets are sold from lottery retailers/agents in 45 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands, according to the Mega Millions website.

The New Jersey lottery website has a retailer finder where you can find the closest lottery retailer near you in the state.

If you reside in Illinois, Georgia, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, North Dakota, the District of Columbia or Virginia, you may buy Mega Millions tickets online. You can also purchase lottery ticket subscriptions, if you live in New York.

Also, residents of New Jersey, Arkansas, Colorado, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, and Washington, D.C. can use the mobile app Jackpocket.

Jackpocket is a lottery mobile app allows you to order official state lottery tickets fulfilled by licensed partners, as they are a courier service.
