918.3Except as provided in these rules, all prizes awarded shall be paid as lump sum set prizes. Instead of the MEGA MILLIONS® set prize amounts, qualifying MEGAPLIER® plays will pay the amounts shown below when matched with the MEGAPLIER® number drawn:
Prize Levels Standard With Megaplier Purchase

Match 0+1$1.00 $2.00$3.00$4.00 $5.00
Multiplier numbers do not apply to the Mega Millions Grand Prize.
918.4In certain rare instances, the Mega Millions set prize amount may be less than the amount shown. In such case, the MEGAPLIER® prizes will be a multiple of the changed Mega Millions prize amount announced after the draw. For example, if the Match 4+1 Mega Millions set prize amount of five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) becomes two thousand dollars ($2,000.00) under the rules of the Mega Millions game, then a MEGAPLIER® player winning that prize amount with a 4X multiplier would win eight thousand dollars ($8,000): two thousand dollars multiplied by four ($2,000.00 x 4).
918.5 The following table sets forth the probability of the various MEGAPLIER® numbers being drawn during a single MEGA MILLIONS® drawing, The MEGA MILLIONS® and/or MUSL Group may elect to run limited promotions that may increase the multiplier numbers.
