The Delaware Lottery, the Multiple-State Lottery Association, and the Mega Millions Group may limit the amount of a top prize for certain games when specific conditions are met. In such an event, all money available for that prize level may be divided equally by the number of winning tickets for that prize level (pari-mutuel prize payment). See game pari-mutuel prize descriptions or contact the Lottery Office for details.
- Mega Millions
- Prizes
Each Mega Millions draw has nine levels of prizes you can win depending on how many numbers you match on your ticket. The bottom prize level, which is won by matching just the Mega Ball gives players $2, while the jackpot is won by matching all five numbers and the Mega Ball. The top prize starts at $20 million and will roll over and increase every time it's not won, with no limit on the amount it can rise to.
If the jackpot is won by multiple people then it is shared equally among all the winning tickets. The other eight prizes below the jackpot are fixed amounts and will be guaranteed to each winner in that tier regardless of how many people match those numbers.

The Megaplier works by multiplying all non-jackpot prizes by 2, 3, 4 or 5x, depending on which Megaplier number is drawn. The Megaplier option can be added in any state or jurisdiction other than Calirfornia.
