The minimum Mega Millions jackpot starts at 40 million dollar. The annuity option is paid in 30 equal annual installments. Winners can choose one time lump sum cash payout option instead.
As opposed to other Mega Millions participants, all the 9 prize levels of California Mega Millions are parimutuel, instead of non-jackpot prize having a set amount. This causes different amounts of prize for equivalent winners sold in California when compared to those sold in other 43 jurisdictons.

For the same reason, CA state lottery doesn't have Megaplier like other Mega Millions participants.
