Ticket costs
The cost of a New York Mega Millions ticket is typically $2 per play. With each play, you select five numbers from a field of 1 through 70, as well as a Mega Ball number from a separate field of 1 through 25. Matching all five main numbers plus the Mega Ball wins the jackpot prize, while there are also prizes for matching fewer numbers or for different combinations. However, prices and rules may have changed, so it’s a good idea to verify the current information from an official source like the New York Lottery website or authorized retailers.
Zero prize amounts
In the New York Mega Millions game, if you don’t match any numbers (zero numbers), there is no prize awarded for that specific outcome. The game’s prize structure typically rewards players for matching at least one number, with higher prizes for matching more numbers and the Mega Ball, up to the jackpot prize for matching all five main numbers plus the Mega Ball. However, it’s always a good idea to double-check the latest information from the New York Lottery website or authorized retailers for the most accurate details.
Multipliers
In the New York Mega Millions game, there is an optional multiplier feature called the Megaplier. For an additional $1 per play, players can choose to add the Megaplier to their ticket. The Megaplier multiplies non-jackpot prizes by 2x, 3x, 4x, or 5x, depending on the Megaplier number drawn. However, the Megaplier does not apply to the jackpot prize. It’s important to note that the Megaplier feature is available for an additional cost and must be selected at the time of ticket purchase.
Bonus/extra draws
As of my last update, the New York Mega Millions game does not offer bonus or extra draws as part of its standard gameplay. Each draw is independent, and players have the opportunity to participate in the regular drawings for a chance to win prizes based on the numbers they select and how they play them. However, it’s always a good idea to check the latest information from the New York Lottery website or authorized retailers for any updates or special promotions.
