Mega Millions winning numbers for June 7 drawing: Jackpot resets to $20 million

The "Megaplier" option in the Mega Millions lottery is an additional feature that can increase non-jackpot prize winnings by 2, 3, 4, or 5 times6. To participate in the Megaplier, players must opt-in when purchasing their Mega Millions ticket and pay an additional $1 per play. The Megaplier number is drawn before the main Mega Millions drawing and applies to all non-jackpot prizes.

Here's a breakdown of how the Megaplier works:

1. When purchasing a Mega Millions ticket, players can choose the Megaplier option by marking the box on their playslip that says 'Yes' next to 'Megaplier.'
2. The Megaplier number (2, 3, 4, or 5) is drawn from a separate pool of 15 balls before the main Mega Millions drawing6. There are five 2X balls, six 3X balls, three 4X balls, and one 5X ball1.
3. If a player wins a non-jackpot prize in the main Mega Millions drawing and has opted for the Megaplier, their prize amount is multiplied by the Megaplier number drawn4.

For example, if a player wins the second-tier prize of $1,000,000 and has opted for the Megaplier, their prize could be increased to $2,000,000, $3,000,000, $4,000,000, or $5,000,000 depending on the Megaplier number drawn4.

It's important to note that the Megaplier does not affect the jackpot prize, and the odds of winning the jackpot remain the same5. The Megaplier only increases the value of non-jackpot prizes.
