Winning Numbers
Megalot
Megalot is the most widely played national lottery game in Ukraine.
Draws are held twice weekly on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 20:50 local time.
Tickets cost UAH 5.00.
To enter, choose six main numbers between 1 and 42 and a Mega Ball number between 1 and 9, or go for a Quick Pick for randomly generated numbers.
System Entry allows players to choose up to 20 main numbers and up to nine Mega Ball numbers, but while this substantially increases the chances of winning, it also makes tickets much more expensive.
Advance Play is also available to participate in up to 10 draws at a time.
Megalot does not have any additional games or possibilities of winning cash prizes beyond the main draw.
Jackpot
Megalot does not have a minimum guaranteed jackpot, which is instead determined by the number of tickets sold for each draw.
Megalot does not have a jackpot or rollover cap either, which when aligned with the long odds of winning, sometimes sees the top prize growing to a substantial sum.
The biggest ever Megalot jackpots are:
- UAH 15 million on October 8, 2014.
- UAH 13.4 million on April 22, 2017.
- UAH 6.15 million on February 18, 2017.
