Other Game Details
Win more with a Megaplier Multiplier
As part of the Mega Millions drawing, a Megaplier multiplier will be randomly drawn. If you win a Mega Millions cash prize of $1–$1 million and have added the Megaplier option on your ticket, your cash prize will be multiplied by the Megaplier number drawn (2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x).
Play consecutive games
You have the option to play the same numbers on a ticket for more than one drawing.
- Game slip: You can play 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10 or 20 consecutive games with your numbers on a game slip.
- Lottery machine: You can choose to play 2 through 24 consecutive games using the touch screen on a Lottery game terminal at certain retail locations.
Please make your selections carefully. Mega Millions tickets cannot be canceled.
