How Mega Millions prizes work
Mega Millions pays fixed prizes — each matching tier pays the exact amount shown in the table, no matter how many other people win. Every Mega Millions ticket carries a printed Multiplier, so the lower-tier prizes are ALWAYS multiplied — the base column below is a reference figure, never an amount paid on its own. For example, matching Mega Ball only pays $10 to $50 (every ticket carries a 2×–10× Multiplier).
How many numbers do you need to win Mega Millions?
The smallest Mega Millions prize is for matching Mega Ball only, which wins $10 to $50 (every ticket carries a 2×–10× Multiplier). On Mega Millions, 2 numbers + the Mega Ball wins $20 to $100 (every ticket carries a 2×–10× Multiplier); 2 numbers without the Mega Ball does not win.
