Multiply your prizes with Megaplier®!
Multiply your Mega millions prize, except for the jackpot, for $1 more per play per drawing. Just ask for Megaplier or check the Megaplier option on your Mega Millions play slip. Non-jackpot prizes will be multiplied 2 to 5 times, depending on the Megaplier number drawn.
