A brochure about MegaMillions with Megaplier distributed to Montana Lottery retailers listed the wrong prizes and odds for two of the nine ways to win a prize. The correct prize for matching three white balls is $7, with odds of 1:306. The correct prize for matching two white balls plus the MegaBall is $10, with odds of 1:844. We apologize for the error.
