Each payment is 5% bigger than the previous one. "This helps protect winners' lifestyle and purchasing power in periods of inflation," according to the Mega Millions website. The cash option is a one-time, lump-sum payment that is equal to all the cash in the Mega Millions jackpot prize pool. If two or more people win the jackpot in the same drawing, the money is shared equally among all winning tickets.
