Lottery consortium Mega Millions is ramping up for the launch of the revamped version of its flagship lottery game in April 2025.
The new ‘Mega Millions’ game will include larger jackpots and improved odds to win them, and a built-in multiplier on every play that improves every non-jackpot win by 2x-10x – up to a total of $10m for matching the five white balls.
Joshua Johnston, Lead Director of the Mega Millions Consortium, commented: “We are creating a game that both our existing players and people new to Mega Millions will love and get excited about playing.
“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.”
Tickets for the new game will cost $5 per play, which is the second price adjustment since Mega Millions launched back in 2022. So far, the game has produced six winners of billion-dollar jackpots.
Players can buy tickets across 45 US states, Washington DC, as well as the US Virgin Islands – with drawings every Tuesday and Friday at 11pm Eastern Time.
