Vermont Mega Millions® Megaplier®!
Multiply your lower-tier Mega Millions winnings up to 4 times! To play, just choose the Megaplier feature on your Mega Millions play slip, or ask the clerk to "Megaplier" your numbers. For each set of numbers played, it costs an additional $1 to Megaplier those numbers.* Then, during each Mega Millions drawing, a Megaplier number between 2 to 4 is chosen. If you Megaplier your numbers and win the $3 prize level up to the $250,000 prize level, your prize is then multiplied by the Megaplier number selected - 2x, 3x, up to 4 times! For example, if you win $250,000 on Mega Millions and the Megaplier number drawn is 4, you would win $1,000,000 ($250,000 x 4) if you purchased the Megaplier feature. Megaplier numbers are 2, 3 and 4. The odds of a 2 being selected are 1:10.5, the odds of a 3 being selected are 1:3, and the odds of a 4 being selected are 1:1.75.
