Hi,

I want $5 on/for mega million.
Such casual utterances tend to be terse and formulaic and idiomatic and not subject to serious language conventions.

What you have said is fine. You could probably even just mutter '$5 mega million'.

Don't the tickets have a denomination, PJ? Can you just specify any sum of money that you wish to lose in the lottery?

The reference is to the MegaMillion Lottery in California.

Yes, each dollar gives you one series of numbers. Five dollars on the MegaMillion gives you five chances to change your life forever.
