Exciting changes are on the horizon for Mega Millions enthusiasts! Starting in April 2025, the ticket price will increase from $2 to $5, marking the first price adjustment since the game’s inception in 2002.
This update is designed to enhance the overall gaming experience by offering larger and more frequent jackpots, improved odds, and a built-in multiplier feature that boosts non-jackpot prizes by 2x to 10x.
Joshua Johnston, director of the Washington Lottery and lead director of the Mega Millions group, expressed confidence that players will embrace these enhancements, stating that the potential to become millionaires or billionaires will outweigh concerns about the price increase.
As the Mega Millions game evolves, players can look forward to a more thrilling and rewarding experience, with the anticipation of even more substantial prizes and improved chances of winning.
