Mega Millions Ticket Price to Increase to $5 in April 2025

The lottery game will introduce changes aimed at offering bigger jackpots and better odds.

Mega Millions will raise the ticket price from $2 to $5, marking its second price increase since 2002.
The price hike is part of a major overhaul that promises improved odds of winning and more frequent large jackpots.
Changes will include a built-in multiplier on every ticket, enhancing non-jackpot winnings by up to 10 times.
Lottery officials expect the changes to create more billion-dollar jackpots and attract more players.
Revenue from increased ticket sales will continue to support various state government services and public education.
