About Oregon Megabucks
Oregon's Megabucks plays are sold in pairs: $1 buys two, and you pick both, so a wheel costs 50¢ a line. Three numbers win a free ticket; four and five share their prize pools, usually about $40 and $800.
The jackpot starts at $1 million and grows until someone wins it. It is paid over 30 years, or as half the advertised amount in cash.
Matching two numbers pays nothing in Oregon Megabucks, so every wheel here guarantees at least a three-number match. Be wary of any system that promises "two numbers every time."
What Oregon Megabucks wheels cost
Each of these wheels guarantees a three-number match (a free ticket) whenever at least three of the winning numbers are among the ones you mark. The more numbers you mark, the more often that happens, and the more tickets it takes.
| Numbers you mark | Tickets | Cost per draw | Cost per week | How often the guarantee comes into play |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 of 48 | 4 | $2 | $6 | 1 in 20 draws, about once every 7 weeks |
| 10 of 48 | 10 | $5 | $15 | 1 in 10 draws, about once every 3 weeks |
| 12 of 48 | 15 | $8 | $24 | 1 in 6.4 draws, about once every 2 weeks |
| 15 of 48 | 31 | $16 | $48 | 1 in 3.7 draws, about once a week or more |
| 18 of 48 | 48 | $24 | $72 | 1 in 2.5 draws, about once a week or more |
The cost per week covers all 3 draws a week. The tool above also has cheaper wheels with weaker guarantees, and bigger ones that guarantee four or five numbers.

Can a wheel improve your odds?
No. Each line still has the same 1 in 12,271,512 chance at the top prize, and the same average return, however you choose its numbers. What a wheel changes is how your wins are grouped: random tickets can all miss even when the draw lands on your numbers, and a wheel makes sure at least one ticket catches them. How lottery wheels work.
Questions
How many numbers should I mark?
As many as your budget allows. In Oregon Megabucks, going from 8 to 18 numbers takes the cost from $2 to $24 a draw, and the three-number guarantee from 1 in 20 draws to 1 in 2.5. Lottery pools can afford the bigger wheels, which is where wheels make the most sense.
How do I play these tickets in Oregon?
Copy each line by hand onto an official Oregon Lottery playslip (Oregon refuses printed or copied slips), or read your lines to the clerk. Since January 2026, no one may buy more than 3% of all possible combinations for one draw without the Lottery's approval.
What is the Kicker?
For $1 more per pair of plays, your prizes for four and five numbers are four times as big, and three numbers pay $4 instead of a free ticket. It doubles a wheel's cost.
Is there a limit on how much I can play?
Since January 2026, Oregon doesn't let anyone buy more than 3% of all possible combinations for one draw without the Lottery's approval. Every wheel here is far below that.
