How to Play Mega Millions (2025 Rules)
All 9 Mega Millions Prize Tiers
Every winning combo, what it pays, and the Megaplier range. Overall odds of winning anything: 1 in 24.
| Match | Odds | Base Prize | w/ Megaplier |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 + MB | 1 in 290,472,336 | Jackpot | Jackpot |
| 5 | 1 in 12,103,014 | $1,000,000 | $2,000,000–$5,000,000 |
| 4 + MB | 1 in 931,001 | $10,000 | $20,000–$50,000 |
| 4 | 1 in 38,792 | $500 | $1,000–$2,500 |
| 3 + MB | 1 in 14,547 | $200 | $400–$1,000 |
| 3 | 1 in 606 | $10 | $20–$50 |
| 2 + MB | 1 in 693 | $10 | $20–$50 |

| MB only | 1 in 37 | $2 | $4–$10 |
Megaplier (2x–5x) is now built into the $5 ticket price. Match 5 Megaplier range depends on the multiplier drawn (2x=$2M, 3x=$3M, 4x=$4M, 5x=$5M).
Megaplier — How It Works Now
Since April 2025, the Megaplier is baked into every ticket. No extra cost — every $5 ticket includes it. The old 10x multiplier is gone. Here's the new distribution:
| Multiplier | Odds of Being Drawn | Ball Distribution |
|---|---|---|
| 5x | 1 in 16 | 3 balls out of 32 |
| 4x | 1 in 8 | 4 balls out of 32 |
| 3x | 1 in 4.6 | 7 balls out of 32 |
| 2x | 1 in 1.8 | 18 balls out of 32 |
The Megaplier uses a weighted 32-ball drum. Since April 2025, the old 10x multiplier has been retired. Max is now 5x.
