MegaMillions: What Is the MegaPlier?

Due to legislation coming into effect in 2019, we can no longer offer lottery betting and as such some content may no longer be relevant.

What Is the MegaPlier?

The MegaPlier is a bonus option which, for just $1.50 extra, allows you to multiply any potential non-jackpot division prizes by up to five.

The MegaPlier number is selected at random before the main MegaMillions draw, and is either 2, 3, 4 or 5.  

So, if you were to match Division 8 of the MegaMillions draw (one main number, and the Megaball) you would normally win around $2.50, however with a 5x MegaPlier you would pocket $12.50.

Of course it gets better; hit Division 2 (5 regular numbers plus the Megaball) your potential winnings could be $1.3 million. This value is the average prize value for this prize division. But with the 5x MegaPlier that would bring the amount up to $6.5 million. 

It should be noted, also, that this is a conservative option and the value can go much higher. Indeed it's fair to say that, compared to lotteries on this side of the pond, not only does MegaMillions regularly eclipse lottery jackpots on this side of the pond, its second division has the potential to do likewise.
