What is the Megaplier?
Some states use a Megaplier feature in which players can increase non-jackpot prize winnings by 2, 3, or 4 times. In a participating state, you can play the Megaplier for an extra $1. The Megaplier number is chosen from a field of 21 numbers. Any non-jackpot prize won on a Mega Millions play will be multiplied by the Megaplier number drawn if you have purchased the Megaplier feature. For example, if you win $250,000 on Mega Millions and the Megaplier number drawn is 4, you would win $1,000,000 ($250,000 x 4) if you purchased the Megaplier feature. To find out if your state participates, and to find what out Megaplier results, visit the lottery web site in the state in which you bought the ticket.
