Mega Millions Prizes & Odds
If your numbers match, you could be a winner! Reference the chart below to see the various game payouts.
*Prizes with multiplier when number drawn is 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X & 10X
Prize liability cap. Should the total prize liability (as defined in the Mega Millions Finance and Operations Procedures) exceed the Liability Cap (as defined in the Mega Millions Finance and Operations Procedures), Prize Level Two (2) shall be paid on a pari-mutuel basis, rather than a fixed prize basis. However, in no event shall the pari-mutuel prize be greater than the fixed prize. The amount to be used for the allocation of such pari-mutuel prizes and related calculations of pari-mutuel prize values shall be as defined in the Mega Millions Finance and Operations Procedures.
Pari-mutuel Treatment of multiplier Prize Level Two (2):
Pari-mutuel Treatment of multiplier Prize Level Two (2). The expected payout percentage for a Mega Millions drawing is 50% of Mega Millions sales. However, because Mega Millions pays out fixed prizes, the total prize liability will be above or below 50% of sales based on the number of winning plays at each prize level. If the base prizes awarded for any Mega Millions drawing meet the Pari-Mutuel criteria of the Mega Millions liability cap (as outlined in the Mega Millions Finance and Operations Procedures) then the prizes shall be calculated upon the same Pari-Mutuel basis. Prize Level Two (2) shall be an amount equal to the Pari-Mutuel prize value multiplied by the preassigned multiplier of 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X on your ticket divided by the shares of winning plays in Prize Level Two (2).
