The Megaplier Promotion and multiplier numbers do not apply to the Mega Millions Grand Prize. |
In certain rare instances, the Mega Millions set prize amount may be less than the amount shown. In such case, the Megaplier prizes will be a multiple of the changed Mega Millions prize amount announced after the draw. For example, if the Match 4+1 Mega Millions set prize amount of ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) becomes two thousand dollars ($2,000.00) under the rules of the Mega Millions game, then a Megaplier player winning that prize amount with a 4X multiplier would win eight thousand dollars ($8,000.00): two thousand dollars ($2,000.00) multiplied by four (4) ($2,000.00 x 4).
