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. So someone with a 2x on their ticket has 2 shares . A 5x multiplier has 5 sh

Powerball is $3 here in Idaho. They bundle the multiplier with it for your convenience. Can't buy a ticket here without the multiplier. Then we have the Double Play for another dollar which isn't a bad price for a chance at a $10 million dollar top prize. So for me, Powerball already costs $4.

It looks as if the $5.00 MM ticket is doing poorly.Reply
While there are games that cost more than $5..... $10 scratchers, $20 scratchers, $50 scratchers, $20 raffle tickets, etc., the difference is that in those games, you have a vastly higher chance of winning a large amount of money. The problem with the new $5 MM is that they didn't change much of anything. It includes the multiplier for lower prizes (instead of giving you a choice to pay the extra $1). They included a 10X possibility but re-arranged the other multiplier odds to give you preci

Our pool has tickets for tomorrow's Mega Millions draw. One ticket has a 4 times multiplier and one ticket has a 3 times multiplier. I hope one of the those tickets wins something. Good luck to everyone who is playing.

The MM multiplier is drawn by the terminal when you buy your ticket. All the multipliers are the same when you buy a multi-line ticket, but you can get a different multiplier for the same drawing if you buy a separate ticket.

$10M Mega Millions Win!Reply
No, it is true that you are guaranteed a multiplier of at least 10x on the second prize if you buy 5 tickets with the same five white ball numbers. This doesn't guaranteed you will win it but rather guarantee the amount. You are also going to have a 1 in 58 million chance to win the jackpot with those 5 tickets that have 5 different megaballs. The multiplier on the 3rd and lower prizes will vary since they are a combination of white balls and megaball match/no match.

Secrets of a lottery lawyer-Kurt Panouses interviewReply
I used to drive to Oregon when Idaho first bundled the multiplier for my convenience. I used that as my protest for about a year and a half, then got tired of the hour drive over there and an hour back. Montana and Wyoming are too far to drive. Wyoming is about 5 hours one way and Montana is farther I think.
