Cash vs. Annuity

The advertised Jackpot Prize is paid as an annuity of 30 payments over 29 years or, at the election of the winner, in a single lump sum payment of the cash value of the annuity prize (prize subject to State and Federal taxes). If the winner chooses the annuity, the annual payments will be increased each year by a percentage set out in the MUSL Mega Millions (M2G2) Product Group Rules. Annuity payments are paid pursuant to MUSL Mega Millions (M2G2) Product Group Rules and New Mexico State Law.

Please Note

The advertised Jackpot is an annualized estimate of the actual Jackpot and is pari-mutuel.

The Jackpot Prize shall be divided equally among winning Jackpot Prize plays. Each Jackpot Prize share that has a cash value of $1,000,000 or less is paid in a single payment. Any Jackpot Prize not won will be added to the next drawing’s Jackpot Prize.

Some or all of the preset prizes may become pari-mutuel under certain circumstances as defined in the MUSL Mega Millions M2G2 Product Group Rules.
