New $5 Game with Built-In Multiplier

The Multiplier is now included in the price of a single $5 wager.
A 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or 10X Multiplier will be randomly assigned for every play at time of purchase.
Win a minimum of $10 and up to $10 million on non-jackpot prizes, up from $2 to $1 million for current prizes.
Every winning ticket will pay out at least 2X the price.

Bigger Jackpots and Secondary Prizes

Jackpots start at $50 million (up from $20 million).
Jackpots are expected to grow faster and get to higher dollar amounts more frequently in the new game.
Prizes for Match 5 (match five white balls) with the new built-in Multiplier will range from $2 million up to $10 million.
The prize for matching the Mega Ball alone will now be between $10 and $50, depending on the Multiplier amount.

Better Odds to Win Jackpot

Jackpot odds are improved to 1 in 290,472,336 from 1 in 302,575,350 due to the removal of one gold Mega Ball from the game. The new game will feature 24 Mega Balls instead of the current 25.
Overall odds of winning any prize are improved to 1 in 23 (from 1 in 24).
