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. Each bucket is its own prize pool that all the winners of that prize level share. The multiplier number on each winner's ticket represents its share of that prize pool.

UPDATE: Proposed changes to Mega Millions game will raise ticket price to $5Reply
Actually, now that the multiplier will be a part of every lottery ticket purchase, it is mathematically possible for California to do it.

Same with Mega Millions - tickets increased from $2 to $5 each, with a built in (pre-added) Multiplier, but before, it only cost you $1 extra ($3 instead of $2) for the exact same selected Multiplier you previously were paying only $3 for! They're basically a.) forcing you to add the Multiplier, AND b.) Charging you an ADDITIONAL +$3 for it!!!

First drawing of new Mega Millions game produces 5X more winnings compared to older versionReply
Just eliminate the 2X multiplier and call it a day. The 2X multiplier really really sucks, all kidding aside.
