Do you win anything on the lottery with 2 numbers?
No, you do not win anything on the lottery with just two numbers. Most lotteries require a minimum of three numbers to be matched in order to win any prize. However, there are a few exceptions.

How many numbers do you have to match to win Mega Millions?
In order to win the jackpot in Mega Millions you must match all 5 main numbers plus the Mega Ball. The main numbers range from 1 to 70 and the Mega Ball number is from a separate set of 1 to 25 numbers.
If there are no jackpot winners, the prize money rolls over until the next Mega Millions draw. In addition, if you match just the Mega Ball number, you can win a prize, but not the jackpot. So to win the Mega Millions jackpot you need to match all 6 numbers.
What if you win the Mega Ball only?
