To increase the size of non-jackpot winning, players can choose the Megaplier option for an additional payment (multiplying the non-jackpot winning by two to five times).

People that earn the jackpot can choose a lump sum payment (minus taxes) or equal payments over 30 years.

The 2nd prize is one million dollars paid in cash only.

You win by matching at least 3 numbers. Any time you match the Mega Ball number, you win a prize.

All prizes must be claimed within 180 days of the draw date.

If there is no jackpot winner, the jackpot rolls over to the next Mega Ball draw.
