Yes, in the Mega Millions lottery, the Mega Ball is a separate number drawn from a different pool than the five main numbers. The main numbers are drawn from a set of numbers, while the Mega Ball is drawn from a smaller set. Therefore, the Mega Ball cannot be one of the five main numbers; it is always distinct.

No, if you get two numbers without a mega ball you will not be a winner.

Yes: at least $2.Hitting the Mega Ball in Mega Millions guarantees you a prize of some sort and is required to win the jackpot. The more numbers you hit in addition to the Mega Ball, the higher the prize.
You can just get the Mega Ball number and win $2 and it goes up from there.
To win money on Mega Millions, you need to match the numbers drawn in the lottery. The more numbers you match, the more money you can win. The jackpot is won by matching all five main numbers plus the Mega Ball.
No ... that is, unless you also have the Mega Ball number too, but without that, you have a piece of paper for recycling.
If you are playing Mega Millions and you match 0 white balls + the Mega Ball, then you get $2. If you match 1 white ball + Mega ball, then you get $3, before taxes. If you match 3 white ball, then you get $7, before taxes. If you match 2 white ball + Mega ball, then you get $10, before taxes. If you match 3 white ball + Mega ball, then you get $150, before taxes. If you match 4 white ball, then you get $150, before taxes. If you match 4 white ball + Mega ball, then you get $10,000, before taxes. If you match 5 white ball, then you get $250,000, before taxes. If you match 5 white ball + Mega ball, then you get to split the jackpot, before taxes, with everybody who picked the same numbers that you did. If you are the only person to win the jackpot, then you get all of it. If 2 (two) people won the jackpot, then they each get half of it. If 3 (three) people won the jackpot, then they each get a third of it.
No. The Mega Millions jackpot is only won by matching all the numbers. But while having one or two numbers is not enough to win the big prize, you can win a smaller amount of money for having five of the numbers: some sources say that people who had five of the six numbers are winners of about $150,000.
