10-16-08-01. Game description. To play MEGA MILLIONS®, a player selects five different white numbers, between one and seventy, and one additional gold number (Mega Ball®) between one and twenty-four. The additional number may be the same as one of the first five numbers selected. The price of a play is five dollars. With a purchase, each play must be randomly assigned a multiplier that must be used to increase potential winnings of nongrand prize wins by two, three, four, five, or ten times over the base prize amount. Multipliers do not apply to the grand prize. A grand prize is paid, at the election of a winning player or by a default election made according to these rules, either on an annuitized pari-mutuel basis or as a cash lump sum payment of the total cash held for the prize pool on a pari-mutuel basis. A set prize (cash prize of ten million dollars or less) is paid on a single-payment cash basis. Draws are held every Tuesday and Friday.
