There is one additional difference between Power Play and Megaplier. Winning players who included the multiplier on their tickets win the multiplied amount of their secondary prize. While the multiplier never affects the amount of the jackpot, it determines how many times the secondary prizes will be multiplied.
In Powerball, however, there is also a multiplier of 10, which is available when the jackpot is under $150 million. In both games, the multiplier can have a value of 2, 3, 4 or 5. This is done separately from the selection of the main numbers and the additional number. Unlike the additional number chosen by players when they fill out their ticket (Mega Ball for Mega Millions and Powerball for Powerball), the games’ multipliers are selected randomly by the lotteries at the time of the draw. These multipliers enable players to be eligible for higher secondary prizes if they win. The Megaplier in Mega Millions and Power Play in Powerball are optional multipliers on a player’s ticket, available for an additional price.
