N.D. Admin. Code 10-16-08-04

Current through Supplement No. 395, January, 2025

Section 10-16-08-04 - Megaplier®option

1. The Megaplier® option is a limited extension of the MEGA MILLIONS® game and is conducted according to the game group's game rules. The option offers the owner of a qualifying play a chance to multiply or increase the amount of a set prize.

2. A qualifying play is a single MEGA MILLIONS® play for which the player pays an extra one dollar for the Megaplier® option. Megaplier® does not apply to the grand prize.

3. A qualifying play which wins one of the set prizes will be multiplied by the number selected, two through five, in a separate random Megaplier® drawing.

4. A single number from a series of fifteen numbers is selected according to the following frequency: five number 2s, six number 3s, three number 4s, and one number 5. The game group may change one or more of the multiplier numbers for a special promotion.

5. A prize awarded must be paid as a lump sum set prize. Instead of the normal set prize amount, a qualifying Megaplier® will pay the amounts shown below when matched with the Megaplier® number drawn:

MEGA MILLIONS® Pays Instead

Matches Per Play	Set Prize Amount	Prize Amounts With Megaplier® Purchase and Multiplier
		5X	4X	3X	2X
5 white + 0 gold	$1,000,000	$5,000,000	$4,000,000	$3,000,000	$2,000,000
4 white + 1 gold	$10,000	$50,000	$40,000	$30,000	$20,000
4 white + 0 gold	$500	$2,500	$2,000	$1,500	$1,000
3 white + 1 gold	$200	$1,000	$800	$600	$400
3 white + 0 gold	$10	$50	$40	$30	$20
2 white + 1 gold	$10	$50	$40	$30	$20
1 white + 1 gold	$4	$20	$16	$12	$8
0 white + 1 gold	$2	$10	$8	$6	$4

Multiplier numbers do not apply to the grand prize.

Rarely, under the game group's limitation of liability rules, a set prize amount may be less than the amount shown. In that case, a Megaplier® prize will be a multiple of two through five for the new set prize amount. For example, if the match 4+1 set prize amount of ten thousand dollars becomes two thousand dollars under the game group's rules, a Megaplier® player winning that prize amount when a "4" has been drawn would win eight thousand dollars ($2,000 x 4).

6. The following table reflects the probability of the Megaplier® numbers being drawn:

Megaplier®	Probability of Prize Increase
5X - Prize won times 5	1 in 15
4X - Prize won times 4	3 in 15
3X - Prize won times 3	6 in 15
2X - Prize won times 2	5 in 15
