Virginia Lottery Director Khalid R. Jones appointed as Mega Millions Lead DirectorReply
A bit of context for people who might not be aware. California's multiplier numbers do not work like the other states' do. California divides the prize money derived from sales into 8 different buckets representing the 8 non-jackpot prize levels.
