Mississippi lottery questions

What lottery games can you play in Mississippi?
Mega Millions and Powerball, plus Mississippi Lottery's own draw games and scratch tickets. We publish the multi-state analysis and the Mississippi rules; Mississippi Lottery's own draw games are not in our database yet.
Does Mississippi sell Power Play and Double Play?
Both. Each costs $1 a play on top of the $2 ticket, so a full Mississippi line is $4. We price Power Play at about 46 cents per dollar and Double Play at about 53 cents.
How much tax does Mississippi withhold from lottery winnings?
5%, held back before the cheque is written and on top of 24% federal withholding. Withholding is not the final bill. The calculator works out what you would actually keep.
Which Mississippi lottery game has the best odds?
Mega Millions, at 1 in 23.07 of winning something — though the prizes are correspondingly smaller, and winning often is not the same as winning much. A scratch-off is a different proposition again: the best on sale in Mississippi now returns about 98 cents on the dollar.
Where do these Mississippi numbers come from?
The multi-state games are cross-checked against several official sources before we publish them. Every source is listed here. The Mississippi rules on this page were read from powerball.com and Mississippi Lottery on 2026-09-22.
