bigger game with megaplier

Step up your game with Megaplier, a great add-on feature that multiplies a non-jackpot prize by 2, 3, or 4! Megaplier can increase your winnings up to $1,000,000! Add Megaplier to any Mega Millions ticket for $1 per play. Win any non-jackpot prize with Megaplier, and your prize is multiplied by the Megaplier number for that draw! Add Megaplier and match your first five numbers, you win $1,000,000 - no matter what the Megaplier number is! The Megaplier number (2, 3, or 4) is randomly drawn before each Mega Millions draw show - so it won't appear on your ticket when you buy it.

play options

It's always great to have options, so mark the OPTIONAL PLAYS box on your play slip for any of the following:

• Want to play the same numbers for more than one draw on a single ticket? Well, you can! A MULTI-DRAW ticket lets you play up to 26 consecutive draws on one ticket. Please keep in mind that the ticket price increases for each draw you add.
  
• Thinking ahead to a special date? You can buy a ticket for a future draw date. It's called a FUTURE draw and you can play up to 26 draws in the future.
  
• Love those numbers so much you want them on more than one ticket? You can REPEAT your play and have the same numbers printed on more than one ticket up to 20 times.
  

Simply tell your store clerk which option you want when you present your play slip. Keep in mind that playing in more than one draw increases the ticket price by the number of draws you choose.
