• Megaplier
  If you want to play, mark the "YES" box under "Megaplier." The Megaplier number will be drawn before each Mega Millions drawing and depending upon the number drawn, your non-grand/jackpot size winnings will increase by 2, 3, or 4 times. The Megaplier is an additional $1 per play board.
  
  
• Optional Plays
  For added convenience you can play your numbers for up to 10 drawings. Mark the appropriate box under "Multi Draw." This will play your numbers indicated on playboards "A" through "E" for the number of drawings you select. Each play board costs $1 per drawing.
  
  
• Cash Option or Annual Payout
  You must select how you want to be paid if you win the grand/jackpot prize. Mark the "26 Annual Payments" box if you want to receive your prize in 26 annual installments. Mark the "Cash Value Option" box if you want to receive your prize in one single payment. If you win and you selected "Cash Value Option," you will receive the net present value of your share of the grand/jackpot amount, determined the next business day after the drawing. This amount will be less than the advertised jackpot. You must select the "Cash Value Option" at the time of your purchase; otherwise, your share of the grand/jackpot prize will automatically be paid in 26 annual installments. Once you receive your ticket, you may not change your grand/jackpot payment option.
