The winning numbers for the Mega Millions drawing on May 24, 2023, were 46, 54, 56, 67, and 70, with the Mega Ball being 16. The Megaplier was 3X.

The Megaplier is an optional feature in the Mega Millions lottery that allows players to increase their non-jackpot winnings by 2, 3, 4, or 5 times. By paying an extra $1 when purchasing a Mega Millions ticket, players can activate the Megaplier option.
Here's how the Megaplier works:
For example, if a player wins $1 million by matching five numbers in the Mega Millions drawing and they had activated the Megaplier option with a Megaplier number of 4, their prize would be multiplied to $4 million4.
It's important to note that the Megaplier does not affect the jackpot prize or the odds of winning. It only increases the amount of non-jackpot prizes. The Megaplier option is available in most states, except for California.
