Question: is powerball and mega millions the same ticket?
Answer: A Mega Millions ticket will run you $2, the same price as a Powerball ticket. ... In Powerball, it's five from 69, and the titular “power” ball comes from a drum of 26. This results in a negligible odds difference for jackpots: 1 in 302,575,350 for Mega Millions, and 1 in 292,201,338 for Powerball.
