Ticket costs
In Delaware, the cost of a single ticket for Mega Millions typically ranges from $2 to $3. However, ticket costs may vary depending on specific rules and regulations set by the Delaware Lottery. It’s essential to check with authorized lottery retailers or visit the official Delaware Lottery website for accurate pricing information. Additionally, players may have the option to purchase tickets for multiple draws in advance, which could affect the overall cost per ticket.
Zero prize amounts
In Delaware Mega Millions games, there are typically no prizes awarded for matching zero numbers. Since the objective is to match numbers drawn in specific combinations, failing to match any numbers means that the player did not win a prize. In Mega Millions, players select five numbers from a pool of 1 to 70 and one additional Mega Ball number from a separate pool of 1 to 25. Players win prizes by matching various combinations of the drawn numbers, including matching all five main numbers plus the Mega Ball. If none of the player’s selected numbers match the winning numbers drawn, they do not win a prize.
Multipliers
In Delaware Mega Millions games, multipliers are offered as an optional feature known as the Megaplier. The Megaplier feature allows players to increase non-jackpot prizes by a randomly selected multiplier drawn at the same time as the main numbers. The Megaplier can multiply prizes by 2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x, depending on the multiplier drawn. However, the Megaplier does not apply to the jackpot prize. Players can choose to add the Megaplier option to their Mega Millions ticket for an additional cost, typically around $1 per play. It’s important to note that the Megaplier feature is not available in all states that participate in Mega Millions. Players should check with their state lottery for availability and pricing details.
Bonus/extra draws
In Delaware Mega Millions games, there are no bonus or extra draws beyond the main drawing. Mega Millions is a straightforward game where players select a set of numbers from two separate pools and win prizes by matching various combinations of the drawn numbers, including matching all five main numbers plus the Mega Ball. Once the drawing occurs, winners are determined based on the numbers drawn, and prizes are awarded accordingly. There are no additional bonus or extra draws beyond the standard Mega Millions drawing. Players can check the results of the main drawing to see if they have won any prizes with their selected numbers.
