Understanding Your Results
Both Powerball and Mega Millions have 9 prize tiers. You do not need to match all numbers to win. Even matching just the bonus ball (Powerball or Mega Ball) wins you a prize. The more numbers you match, the larger your prize. If you add Power Play (Powerball) or Megaplier (Mega Millions) to your ticket, your non-jackpot prizes are multiplied.
