Big news for Mega Millions players: as of 2025, the Megaplier is no longer a paid add-on—it’s automatically included with every Mega Millions ticket in participating states. That means you get a shot at multiplied prizes without paying anything extra.
The Megaplier boosts any non-jackpot prize by 2X, 3X, or 4X, depending on the multiplier drawn before the Mega Millions drawing. It applies automatically—no extra step, no extra cost.
Here’s how the new Megaplier breakdown looks in 2025:
