What is the Megaplier?
Most states offer the Megaplier feature, which increases non-jackpot prizes by two, three, four and five times.
This costs $1 more per play. Before each regular Mega Millions drawing, the Megaplier is drawn. Out of a supply of 15 balls, five are marked “2X”, three “4X” and one with “5X”.
How to play Mega Millions
To buy a ticket, you’ll need to go to your local convenience store, gas station, or grocery store – and in a handful of states, you can buy tickets online.
To play, you will need to choose six numbers. Five numbers will be white balls ranging from 1 to 70. The golden Mega Ball is a number between 1 and 25.
If you think the odds are against you, request a “Quick Pick” or “Easy Pick” and the computer will randomly generate the numbers for you.
Players can add the “Megaplier” for $1, which can increase non-grand prize winnings by two, three, four or five times. The Megaplier is drawn before the Mega Millions numbers on Tuesday and Friday.
There are 15 Megapiler balls in total:
- 2Xfive balls
- 3Xsix balls
- 4Xthree balls
- 5Xa ball
