(Austin, TX) The newly revamped and reformated Mega Millions Lottery game is living up to the hype. In Tuesday’s Mega Millions drawing, the multi-state lottery game produced 596 winners in Texas who had their prize winnings multiplied by “10”.
The new multiplier system is part of the “new” Mega Millions and Texas Lottery players appear to lapping up the winnings like a kitten drinks cream. If you didn’t hear about the changes in how Mega Millions is played there are a few tweaks you need to know about.
What Are the Changes in the Mega Millions Lottery Game?
The first thing Texas Lottery fans will notice is the price jumped from $2 to $5. In the past you could spend an extra dollar to add the “Megaplier” but under the new format there is no need, you get a multiplier automatically. It could be anywhere from 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, to 10x. And those multipliers include Match 5 Million prizes too.
Here is how the drawing for Mega Millions played out on Tuesday, April 15, 2025.
Host John Crowe reminded us that last night just before the balls left the hopper the game’s top prize was listed at $96 million. There was no jackpot winner. That has been confirmed by our sources at Mega Millions.
However, there were two Match 5 Million winners. A “Match 5” is when a ticket matches all of the white ball numbers but misses a match on the Mega Ball. By rule, a ticket with that number match scenario would win one million dollars. In the case of last night’s winner, both from New York State, one ticket had a 2x multiplier for a win of $2 million. The other tickets had a 4x multiplier for a win of $4 million. Not bad for a five-dollar investment, huh?
