PEORIA Ill. – Mega-Millions announces BIGGER jackpots and BETTER odds…
The lottery game is launching a series of new improvements next April — including the first ticket-price change since 2017.
Tickets will only be 5-dollars each — with larger starting and growing jackpots — and no more break-even prizes, which means when a player wins, they’ll always win more than the cost of the ticket.
“We are creating a game that both our existing players and people new to Mega Millions will love and get excited about playing,” said Joshua Johnston, Lead Director of the Mega Millions Consortium. “We expect more billion-dollar jackpots than ever before, meaning creating more billionaires and many more millionaires as the jackpots climb, plus this game will continue the important legacy of supporting great causes everywhere Mega Millions is played.”
Since Mega Millions launched in 2002, it has produced six winners of billion-dollar jackpots. Since the last change in 2017 more than 1,200 players have become millionaires, an average of 3 millionaires per week.
