ODDS
*Jackpot prize is estimated and will be divided equally
among all winning tickets. Mega Millions officials may
reduce prize levels for Mega Millions and/or Megaplier
in the event that an unanticipated number of winner
claims exceed the available prize fund for a given draw.
In such instances, the dollars allocated for each prize
level impacted will be divided equally among all winners
of that prize. The Mega Millions annuity option is a
29-year, 30-payment with a graduated annual payment.
The graduated annual payment will grow by 5% over the
previous year’s payment.
• Megaplier applies to all lines of play on a ticket and
costs $1 per line of play per drawing. For example,
3 lines of Mega Millions play + Megaplier costs $6.
• For the Mega Millions drawing, a Megaplier number
(2, 3, 4 or 5) will be drawn.
• If Megaplier has been purchased, and the ticket wins
any prize level from $1 to $1,000,000, the prize will be
multiplied by the number drawn.
