New Mega Millions game reports 300% increase in non-jackpot prizes in first monthReply
The 300% increase vs. what those 1.89 million winners would have won under the old prize structure is incorrect. I'm of the opinion that the MM spin doctors failed to consider that 25 % of those winners would have purchased the Megaplier (conservative figure based on similar jackpots as reported by USA Mega) and taken home another $6.6M in winnings based on an average 3x Megaplier. That would give us a realistic increase of closer to 175%.
