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:
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.
