Mega Millions drawings occur every Tuesday and Friday night at 7:59 PM Pacific Time. Each play costs $1. In some states, players can choose to spend 1 extra dollar to purchase the Megaplier, which multiplies the original prizes 2 to 5 times but not grand prize. The odds of winning is about 1 to 14. The odds of winning Mega Millions jackpot are about 1 in 258 million. The minimum Mega Millions grand prize is $12 million. Its annuity option is paid in 26 equal annual payments. Winners can select one lump-sum cash payout instead.
Not like other Mega Millions states, all the 9 prize tiers of California Mega Millions are pari-mutuel, as opposed to non-jackpot prize having a set value. This results in different amounts of prize for equivalent winning tickets sold in California when compared to those sold in other states. For example, the 2nd Mega Millions prizes is a quarter million dollar could pay the winner over $1000,000 due to the pari-mutuel payout system of California lottery.
