Megaplier
The Megaplier is an add-on you can opt in to when purchasing a ticket for the standard Mega Millions drawing. It costs an additional $1 per line to play, and can increase non-jackpot amounts to up to five times their starting value.
Just before each drawing, the Megaplier number is randomly selected, applying either a 2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x multiplier for all winners who opted to play. The Megaplier is the same for all players, and is available in all participating states except California.
See the How to Play page for more information about the Megaplier. The table below shows how this add-on can increase the value of prizes:
