Mega Millions is set to undergo significant changes starting in April 2025. The cost of tickets will increase from $2 to $5, a move that lottery officials believe will lead to larger jackpots and more frequent winners. The overhaul, announced on Monday, will impact nearly every part of the game, including better odds and higher payouts. The national game, which has produced a record six jackpot wins exceeding $1 billion, aims to attract more players with these changes next year.
