- Select the Megaplier add-on for $1
- A separate number from 2 to 5 will be drawn (before the regular drawing)
- Your non-jackpot prize is multiplied by the number drawn
For example, if the Megaplier number drawn was 3, and you match four white balls for a prize of $500, you will multiply your prize resulting in a $1,500 payout.
