In the lottery, a multiplier option like Power Play (in Powerball) or Megaplier (in Mega Millions) increases non-jackpot prizes. For example, if you win a $50,000 second-tier prize and the multiplier is 3x, your prize becomes $150,000. This feature can be added to your ticket for an additional cost and does not affect the jackpot winnings.
